I really like it that they promote from within.
Praise is the reflection of virtue.
The mark of extraordinary merit is to see those most envious of it constrained to praise.
If merit is not recognised, still it is merit, and it ought to be honoured as such; but if it is rewarded, it becomes valuable in the eyes of all, and everybody is encouraged to pursue that course in which merit obtains its due reward.
Talent should always be recognized - no one can keep it; no one owns it.
Applause is a receipt, not a note of demand.
Praise invariably implies a reference to a higher standard.
Real merit of any kind cannot long be concealed; it will be discovered, and nothing can depreciate it but a man exhibiting it himself. It may not always be rewarded as it ought; but it will always be known.
My characters are much more famous than I am, so I don't crave attention; I just crave working and doing good work. Having a feeling of self-worth.
The Malayalam industry is down to earth and instantly recognizes talent.
I don't see why people can't praise when they see something done well - even if it is by a woman.
See nations slowly wise, and meanly just, to buried merit raise the tardy bust.
Rajini sir gave me an opportunity to work with him because he liked my work, especially my style of narration and dialogues. Now, I can't go out and make something very different just to please him. He wanted me to make 'Petta' the way I want it and with my sensibilities intact.
Is there any more encouraging sign than to see an Indian, who has never been to a university, like our friend Mr. Asutosh Dey here, for example, carrying out original work and finding it recognized by the foremost societies of the world?
