Awards and Prizes

Published: Mon, 02/27/17

It's Monday! 

Start of a new week. 

My friend Charlie posted a photo of Steve Harvey and wrote something about the Oscars last night.

Of course, I didn't watch it because I was watching The Walking Dead.

Seeing Steve Harvey it's likely the wrong award was handed to someone... so I searched it. 

For sure they messed it up. The announced La La Land instead of Moonlight for the Oscar. 

I wonder HOW do they mess up the final and largest award of the night.
Like they did it on purpose? I just think it makes the biggest award of the night look stupid. 

Now having a Oscar Winning movie I'm sure makes the actors and producers much more
money for the rest of their careers so it is a super big deal.

How do they allow that to get messed up? 

I have no plans to watch either movie and no idea how the judging happens between each one.
I'm sure some people like one over the other. Each movie is likely completely different. 

All I could bet is people now watch both movies. 

I guess my message is three parts. 

#1. Live Production   
#2. Awards 
#3. Being Part of Something Big 

In live production mistakes can happen but they really should not especially at that level.
The correct person or winner should be announced.

When an award is used correctly it could be a life-changer. The more and more I see less 
importance on the actual trophy more on the "opportunity". 

Sometimes it's really hard for people to understand that putting yourself out there and taking 
a chance like entering a fitness event at a big venue and capitalizing just by being part of something
big... 

Here is an example of someone who is seeing opportunity. 

Rebekah creates a posts and tags 27 friends. 

She is taking the time to create her own fans to share in her event.

She gets 104 likes so far and will likely get more throughout the day. 

Let's just think about this...

IF 27 people show up to support her and they know the dedication and effort she put into competing in a fitness pageant. Don't you think they would likely look up to her for fitness advice later? 

IF she just simply worked out like crazy and lost body fat and didn't ever tell anyone and stayed covered up and kept it a secret do you think any sort of fitness opportunity would come later?

When it comes to simply getting a TROPHY and you either get the trophy or not that is one thing.

Yet when you go to Mohegan Sun an incredible venue, create a support team of 27 people, celebrate the accomplishment of being in the show itself - more happens yet you can't say exactly.

I maybe could explain that in many ways and without over-thinking this I have to wrap it up and go to the office. 

I'll end with this... Rebekah is already a winner. She is going to inspire a lot of people.
