Fail to win from the world by after- triumps
Hello everybody.
I'm reading 'Little Women' by Louisa May Alcott chapter 35.
Whatever his motive might have been, Laurie studied
to some purpose that year, for he graduated with honor,
and gave the Latin oration with the grace of a Phillips and
the eloquence of a Demosthenes, so his friends said. They
were all there, his grandfather—oh, so proud—Mr. and
Mrs. March, John and Meg, Jo and Beth, and all exulted
over him with the sincere admiration which boys make
light of at the time, but fail to win from the world by any
after-triumphs.
Would you please tell me what the underlined means?
Thanks for the help ??.
