   The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced there's a strong   
   emphasis on trophies among humans.  More than one person told me I   
   should frame a copy of my first sale, and many people display the   
   first dollar they ever made. Some people have "Glory Walls" with   
   pictures of dignitaries, and perhaps that diploma serves a purpose   
   more than showing you've completed the course of study.  If that's the   
   case, then perhaps the idea of trophy is to demonstrate prowess.
