What would you most like to be recognized for?

Of late - I have gained much recognition from peers and those I lead (both locally and beyond) as being a leader with vision. I only wish those who lead my own organiztion recognized these qualities in me and not just the fact that I am a hard worker who gets things done.

Anything.

Fisch, 47
Preston, CT USA

I'd like to be recognized for having made a small part of the world a better place.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA

I'd like to be recognized for my long history of voluntary activities, for professional achievements, or for the close bonds I have with my family.

I am operating on the theory that you mean day-to-day recognition and not some big honor. I like it when people tell me they have read my column and that they have been reading it for years. It makes me feel good to know that something that I carry around in my head can
be shared with others and that they enjoy and identify with the things I choose to write about.

Cindy, 41

I would like to be recognized as a person who tries her best at all times.

I'd like for my husband to notice that I've cleaned the house.

Laura, 38
Lowell, MA USA

i would like to recognized for being a great teacher. there isnt anything else that would matter more than that. i dont really care much for recognition because i dont like all the attention. its embarassing to have everyone focused on me. as much as i like doing good things i dont really like to be around for the thanks. i like to be appreciated but not verbally or for show. i
dont need people to say thanks. i want them to show me their appreciation by doing good for themselves.

Ingrid, 22
Stockton, CA USA

I would most like to be recognized for being as intelligent and capable as I am (assuming that, in this scenario, I'm still being recognized for the things that I already am recognized for as well as the additional things I choose).

Karen, 24
Ames, IA USA

For being helpful to others and in general being a good person.

For who I am.

Ryan, 29

For being a good person.
