Make no mistake, I don't get or take all of the credit but the fact that I get things like this from time to time and knowing that I just had an impact is a pretty cool thing.
I get great satisfaction out of them. No, I am not saving lives and curing cancer but every now and then I feel good to have made a positive impact on someone and I am always flattered.
You could tho, If you were to choose so!. You sound like a good man! Maybe if this type of reward gives you so much satisfaction, think what you would get from ACTUALLY saving those lives?
