It would be comical to deny that I don't like appreciation or rewards, because no one works without an exceptation for appreciation.. But I fell into some form of deep thoughts, thinking what exactly do you term as an 'apt' reward.. Is it monetary benefits, material benefits, trophies, certificates, applause, etc. etc. ?!..
I have read somewhere which says trophies gather dust over the years.. Applause dies down as time passes.. Material benefits undergo depreciation as time goes along.. Monetary benefits help for a very short period of time as they get spent.. A perfect and even the most prestigious award which I feel the best would be being called as ' A Gentleman' ...
Be it sports, be it business, be it education, be it arts, be it in any form or profession, character is what the most important asset of a human.. Ability to win people's heart without breaking one, without back-biting, without speaking according to situations and winning accolades is obviously the ideal one who deserves such an reward.. More than a well known person calling you 'Gentleman', if a person less known to you (say a third person) calls you so, its even more meaningful !!!... Such an reward gives some meaning to your life rather than all the material benefits possessed...
