I Don’t Care That You’ve Been Voted Most Outstanding Unknown Person

I Don’t Care That You’ve Been Voted Most Outstanding Unknown Person

If you want awards, apply for them and you’ll get a few. Better yet, buy something from the organization offering the awards and you’ll definitely get some. (That’s the con of these bogus “Who’s Who” listings—you buy the book.)

Awards have been debased and devalued. Recently, a music group in Germany received the equivalent of the Grammy Award for a song containing anti-Semitic lyrics.

Show me your results, not your awards. The former can make you wealthy. The latter can’t even get you on a bus for free.

    Thank you Alan for calling out awards for what they are – the con. You just need money to get the award.

    We did a show on this – what we call the Fake Awards. https://youtu.be/Rj-GOxMCxBQ -would love to know what you think of it. Thanks.

      And gave me the biggest belly laugh. Whoo hoo, taking that award all the way to the bank – NOT!

      Thanks for looking at it and for the RT.
