Richard Feynman, famous physicist was known for his genius, and being very opinionated.

Listen as he tells the truth behind honours, and talks shit about the Nobel prize. It's not often that I hear someone put into words so eloquently what I believe in. Honours are meaningless, people in high positions are not automatically worthy of respect, and the real rewards come from within.

"I don't know anything about the Nobel prize! I don't understand what it's all about, and what's worth what - and if the people in the Swedish academy decide that X Y or Z wins a Nobel prize, then so be it. I won't have anything to do with the nobel prize, it's a pain in the... (laughing)"

"I don't like honours. I appreciate it for the work that I did, and for the people who appreciate it, and I notice that other physicists use my work. I don't need anything else, I don't think there's any sense to anything else. I don't see that it makes any point that someone in the Swedish academy decides that this work is "noble" enough to receive a prize. I've already got the prize! The prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation that other people use it, those are the real things. The honours are unreal to me. I don't believe in honours."

If you feel the need to get a bit movitated, listen to the Feynman Series of lectures, they're great. In case you're wondering what the music in the background is, it's from the soundtrack to the very cool movie Moon. Enjoy!
