Recognition can do so much for someone, simple as it may seem but if meant in the sincerest manner it can be bigger than any physical reward one can have. Growing up I received many recognitions from school but what I love best was being known and acknowledged by teachers as a good student. Their recognition uplifted my self esteem and made me strive harder to be good in school until I finished my studies.

Now that I am married and also being a mother, being recognized with how I take care of both my husband and son really makes me feel great. I am not the best wife and mother but I am always trying my best to show them my love and care. I don't need nor want trophy of any sort for doing good in wife and mommy duty, just seeing them happy with me is more than enough for me.

Speaking of trophy, some people take pride when they get to receive trophies. Of course there are occasions when having a physical form of recognition is good like when you excelled in sports. Soccer trophies, golf trophies, bowling trophies, volleyball trophies and such are great keepers. These type or rewards can serve as a good reminder of your achievements with regards to sports. In some cases like work or job recognition, getting something like best employee and retirement awards can also be so fulfilling.

Have you received any special recognition or trophy that you treasure most? I want to brag about mine because I think you'll also agree with me if I say "my trophy" is the best of all. Any idea?
