Awards
Perseverance is not some kind of mysterious quality that is reserved for only a few. It’s available to everyone.
Successfully persevering in pursing and reaching your goal can sometimes result in some kind of honour or award.
Recognition comes in many forms. It can come in medals and ribbons, and in certificates and other forms of acknowledgement.
These things are very humbling for the recipients. People who receive tributes know very well that they did not set out seeking recognition.
Leaders set out to make a difference.
