Full Version: First Trophy

Working with awards and yes trophies everyday, its easy to become complacent about them.
The kids have a ball looking at all of them when they come in with their parents to pick them out for the team. It makes it obvious how important they are to them.
During the huricane evacuation, the news showed a mother and kids in line to check into the shelter carrying everything important they managed to bring with them. One of the few things one of the kids had was a trophy.
You see that all the time after a fire or tornado when people are fleeing or going through the rubble. They list the family photos and trophies as some of the things they miss most or try and save and some try to restore or replace the damaged ones.
Granted, many end up in the trash or basement, but many are cherished whether it is a tiny one or something expensive for a CEO.
I think the negativity here is more about making an unchallenging item with more labor and less profit than other items.

No laughs please (ok, go ahead!), but your post reminds me of the small cheap "Mr. Hustle" trophy I received in 1974 and the medals I received for track and field the same year. Yes I still have them. In fact, if you ask my kids if they've ever heard of "Mr. Hustle", they'll roll their eyes since I've only mentioned it to them 98 times! You're right about the value of recognition!

We have noticed that Kathy never gets to post only you. >.<
Did you get her one of those outfits from the Star Trek shop after we were at Quarks? (devil)
