Issue 61 "High-profile awards such as the Nobel Prize are actually damaging to society because they suggest that only a few people deserve such recognition."
高回报的奖金，如诺贝尔奖实际上对社会是有害的，因为只有少数人才能获此殊荣

Admittedly it is true that only a few people can obtain some high-profile awards such as the Nobel Prize, but this fact does not constitute a justification for the allegation that the high-profile awards impose a negative effect on society because this allegation is completely built upon a distorted appreciation of people’s motivation and the social function of the high-profile awards.

Many people mistakenly believe the incentive effect of the high-profile awards as the primary aim of these awards and thus conclude that the probability to approach the high-profile awards is such（可以用such嘛……？） low that most people will be seriously frustrated and discouraged. As a matter of fact, however, the high-profile awards play a far more important role in imbuing social member with some valuable spirits, virtues and ideologies than（only） in encouraging people. The Nobel Prize awarded to Einstein was more a confirmation of his nonesuch spirits of scientism than of his great contribution to the society. Mother Teresa was conferred with the Nobel Prize for her great sense of humanity, not for her real contribution to the enterprise of humanity because many millionaires such as Bill Gates perhaps contributed much more if their contribution（s） could be measured in terms of money. Therefore, the incentive effect of the Nobel Prize is secondary, and its real meaning exists in its endeavors to highlight the value of scientism, humanity and world peace. Owing to its far-reaching social influence, the Nobel Prize can help modern society shape a new but much healthier social atmosphere, in which scientism and scientists will be widely respected, devotion into the sciences and lofty individual aspirations will be well appreciated, children will be better nurtured and grow up,（觉得没必要了） and as a result the society will be greatly benefited, rather than be damaged as many people imagined.

Not only the high-profile awards do not aim to encourage people to seek for the utilitarian purpose, but also individuals are not intended to work for the high-profile awards due to the extraordinary difficulty to obtain the high-profile awards. No owners of the Nobel Prize have confessed（从一般人的观点来看，大家都会隐瞒自己的私欲，这里是不是应该换个叙述方式？或者直接要下一句这一句删掉好了） that the purpose of obtaining this prize had significantly affected their daily work and life, and some owner even say that the Nobel Prize is completely an unexpected gift for them. The Nobel Prize is accessible only to those who are unutterably indulged into seeking for lofty individual interests, exploring the unknown world and serving for the enterprise of human progress. There is no possibility for people who have some utilitarian purpose to acquire the high-profile awards because any utilitarian thought will distract them from devoting all their lives into their enterprises. What is more, even if people have devoted all their lives into the enterprises that they really love and made some significant achievements, how close they are to the Nobel Prize also heavily depends on whether they are Fortune’s favored children in virtue of the great uncertainty in sciences and other enterprises. The motivation to obtain the high-profile awards therefore is not only unadvisable but also unpractical. Except for some who are conceited to the extent of ignorance, no one in reality would regard the high-profile awards as the final aim of their endeavors and thus no one would really feel anxious about the low probability to deserve such recognition.

To sum up, the main aim of the high-profile awards is not to encourage people to serve for a particular purpose, but to shape and define the social members and conduce to the formation of a valuable social atmosphere. Individuals also are not intended to work for the high-profile awards. Therefore, no damaging effect will be imposed upon the society by the fact only a few people deserve the high-profile awards.
