This is a nice poem. It is inspiring and well written. Being a snob after achieving awards and recognition is quite understandable. The prestige earned was well worth it. His learning of tricks to do his job well is how he does his work now. He keeps too busy with his job with this tricks. His snobbish behavior has changed as a result. The poetry makes us think how we change with times. How new tricks make us change in our jobs. As we get more real our pride vanishes and reality takes over. The poetry is an eye opener how the world works.
