You're spot on. Prestige doesn't resonate with most folks—it's glamour they crave. You can't compel anyone to value prestige. For many, it's a hollow status, lacking true significance. After all, nobody is obligated to applaud your accomplishments.
The worth of prestige relies solely on whether people assign it value.
