Awards, yes I've had some, both silly and significant at the same time. Those awards, although meaningful, have faded in my memory, compared to the joys family and friends bring into our lives. Remember how we treasured our diplomas? Now I'm not sure where they are, although I do remember my gpa's.
Second best awards are staying in contact with my old clients and seeing how they are happy that their transaction have had a positive effect in their lives. Perhaps they bought a house as a newly married couple and now have kids going to the area schools. I see them on family vacations and with friends in their neighborhood. That is a priceless sense of satisfaction.
