We get so many unsolicited biodatas and company profiles and achievements for consideration. We diligently peruse each them. Awards are more than just a piece of wood or metal. They are acknowledgments of achievements, of thoughts and actions that led to success in endeavour. It’s not just the success of earning money. It goes beyond. Everyone works hard. It’s just that some work harder, or smarter, or don’t give up in face of difficulties faced.
