The award
season has begun and many actors and singers have already been chosen as
winners in 2013. Big shows in which we all celebrate the incredible work all
these people are doing. Whether we agree with the winners or not, we watch
these shows. I love them too, like the People’s Choice Awards, the Golden
Globes or the SAG awards. I sit there, excited, hope that my favorite will win. But so often that there is a category in which I think more than one of the
nominees would deserve the price. I have to admit that normally I don’t think
we should compare a person to someone else because everyone is unique in his or her own way, but I
also think it must be an overwhelming feeling for the winners to be chosen in
their category. And in my mind it’s even more important to them, when the fans
chose them. When you can vote on the internet, and the winner is not made by a
jury but by the people, it’s their choice. You know that there are people out
there who like your work, like what you’re doing, and isn’t this something
great? I guess it’s more about that than the actual trophy.

But why do
only singers and actors get honored? Okay, there are also prices for producers,
writers, and so on, but why don’t honor the firemen? Why not the police officers,
or the butchers? Do they not do a great job, too? Maybe the office girl, or the
house keeper are not that popular, but they also do a great job. What would we
do without them? Every job has to be done, so in every job people should be
honored. They do not need a big live TV show, or a big golden trophy. But what
is wrong, when the boss tells his employees they did a good job? Some nice
words, maybe an extra pay or more days off to show them, that he respects their
work.
I worked
for some years in an office, and it was mostly like that: the boss expected you
to do your job without any mistakes – he took that for granted and didn’t say
anything, but when you did 1% wrong, he always came complaining about that
single, little mistake. I guess it’s also in other companies like that which is
very sad. What is wrong to tell someone when he did a good job? I guess that
motivates him. It shows him that he’s respected and his work is appreciated.
So what do
you think who should get an award? Who would deserve what kind of award? So let’s
talk about people who should be honored for what they did. This can be a
friend, who was always there for you, your family, someone who helped you out
and were on your side when you needed her the most. Like such award shows, we
love to hear something nice, when we can affect someone else in a positive way
and he or her appreciates what we’re doing. So please leave a comment and tell
me, if you watch and like such award shows and who should get what kind of
award, or should be honored for something incredible. There is no big show
needed, and that person doesn’t have to be a celebrity, but it's never wrong saying you appreciate to have someone special in your life.
