 "If the proof is correct then no other recognition is needed."
- Grigori Perelman

 I've just had to look him up as I was unfamiliar with him but intreagued by his picture.

He turned down $1M for solving a maths problem😳🤯. 
 He’s badass. My favorite personality in the field of mathematics. 
 Perelman's stance was not born of arrogance, but of a profound understanding of the pursuit. His words stood as a reminder that, in the end, it is not the recognition that matters, but the work itself.
