You Win

A   L   O   H   A  !


 " I've been thinking 
about why you have to
 get famous 
to get an award
 for helping 
other people.









" If your name is 
John Doe, 
and you work night
 and day doing things
 for your helpless neighbors,
 what you get for your effort
 is tired. 










" So, Mr. and Mrs. Doe, 
and all of you
 who give of yourselves,
 to those who carry
 too big a burden
 to make it
 on their own,











" I want you to reach out
 and take your share of this. 
Because if I have earned it, 
so too have you.” 

Frank Sinatra
Accepting the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award

  1. I think I can take a pass--My mother always said if you expect a reward for doing what is right, it becomes wrong.

  2. Yes, famous people get rewarded for just doing their job. Why is that?

  3. I figure God knows what I've done, as I don't plan to be famous. Wouldn't have ever thought Sinatra to make such an eloquent statement. Mahalo for the views. DrumMajor

  4. true that....the famous def have fun congratulating themselves for the good they do...and most of it goes unnoticed by the common man...but then again the heart in those tht have little says so much...

  5. I know it seems so unfair, but I don;t pay attention to awards. The reward is the smile on the face of those helped.

  7. Wonderful sentiment, and so true. The unknowns who do most of the giving seldom get recognized. I'll take a moment to honor them too.

  10. Nice picture with the palm trees. It is only since a few weeks ago that I realise how tall these palm trees can be.

  14. Aloha, dear friend Cloudia, always gifting us with wonderful thoughts and reflections, your medal is shining in all our hearts. I'm not much of a receiver, but when it comes to knowing I've sent a bit goodness, then I shine- and that's my medal too! Ring, and sing in a joyous new year, and please keep us glowing, okay!
