Right. Trophies and awards are very nice external motivators, but the real winning is in the effort. Always was and always will be. Inward satisfaction, in the end, is all that we can "control" anyway. We all learned that stuff in grade school, we just forget sometimes.

I'm glad so many care about the positive culture change. Congrats to ALL winners. Maybe you have medals and maybe you don't, but you know who you are and we thank you for your efforts.
