winning a noble is much more difficult n prestigeous than a olmpics gold medal
On the contrary, you need to beat other world champions to win an Olympic Gold while the Nobel Prize...hmmm....it's not what it used to be anymore.
Having said that, I did not derive any pride in JS winning gold in swimming, and I don't think I would be proud if LSW or any other sinkie wins a Nobel Prize. It's their ahcievemnet and the medal or cup is theirs to display in their house, not mine. I even doubt if they did all these for Singapore, or for me. So why should I care and be proud?
