What's a strong symbol of recognition?

An honor, responsibility, job, money, or a shout out?

Or…

Some type of symbol that will withstand the test of time?

My vote is for the latter.

What might those types of symbols be?

  • Spending time with someone.

  • Writing a letter (by hand).

  • Giving a great book.

  • Anything… that is simple, elegant, and will hold its meaning 30 years laters.

Are these gifts always possible? Maybe, maybe not; but, that’s what makes them powerful when they’re received.

How far do we take our intuition?
