Good day...

Today’s quote:

“Two thoughts decide the Progress in life.

The way you interact when you have nothing in hand.

The way you manage when you have everything in hand.”

Thinking of all those sweet childhood days!!

 

Today’s bonus: Award ~ Reward

Award: It  is a prize that you receive for having done something noteworthy. It is always associated with something positive; you have done something which people approve of. It is a sign of appreciation. You could be awarded a medal, a prize, or a certificate by an organization for an outstanding achievement.

 

Reward: It is usually associated with something valuable — money, for instance. The police may offer a reward for information about an escaped convict. For example, if you have worked really hard to write a novel, and later you receive an award for it, you may feel that it is a recompense for all the work you put in, that it is a reward for your effort.

 

While the word "award" is associated with only positive things, "reward", on the other hand, can be associated with both good and bad. One can be rewarded for the evil one does as well.
