muff528 3 #51 November 30, 2010 Quote I had a few, I threw them all away after they lost their meaning to me. That almost seems like another life ago. I got a few trophies and plaques for boat racing. (I really preferred a check, but we seldom got them). I threw the trophies away after a few moves and I got tired of tightening the little nut at the bottom and dusting them. I kept the wall plaques. My son asks me why I tossed them and now I wish I kept the trophies. But I did take pictures of them at one point. Also got a few skydiving plaques. Oh, and a dart trophy.

boinky 0 #52 November 30, 2010 How many people were employeed at that place? Did they seriously give out trophies to every one of you? That can get very expensive! And the bronze medal is great! And shhhh....if they want to think I'm a guy....it's okay. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

How do you feel about the "every kid gets a trophy, no matter how much their team sucked" theory today? I wouldn't want an award even though I lost. It would be a cheap token of nothing. A person's achievements, even if it was simply achieving a personal goal, builds self esteem. It's never been something that could be handed to you.

He hates sports and sucked very badly at them. But back then, maybe those trophies were one of the best things that happened to the kids that sucked? I agree that a trophy/medal properly earned is a great self esteem builder. Unfortunately, a lot of parents don't encourage their children to be "better people" and don't support any efforts towards performing outstanding achievements, though. And if you don't start learning to go that extra step to achieve extraordinary accomplishments when you're growing up, you don't normally try to do so as you grow older.Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

Years ago my youngest got one of those feel good trophies for hockey, he tossed it in the trash the minute he got it. He rode the bench all season and he said he didn't want a reminder of how bad he was. He's kept all the ones he 'earned' in HS for track and football...I was kinda proud of him for seeing the difference all on his own. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites boinky 0 #73 November 30, 2010 Quote I was kinda proud of him for seeing the difference all on his own.
