In the end it’s about the work, not an award you get for the work.
Meaning of the quote
The quote is saying that the most important thing is the work you do, not the prizes or awards you might get for that work. It doesn't matter if you receive recognition or not - the real value is in the effort and quality of your work itself. The focus should be on doing your best, not on getting awards or praise.
