The human currency of praise is Monopoly money. It feels great for a moment to collect, but when the game is over, it's worthless.

About This Quote

The human currency of praise is Monopoly money. It feels great for a moment to collect, but when the game is over, it's worthless. It's like a limited edition coin that has been passed around and collected. But when you get all of the Monopoly money out of your house it doesn’t mean that your life is over. The things that you did once that felt great were only temporary and there is always more to do.
