Awards and Their Significance
Awards are significant in everyone's life because they might convey a statement to the recipient. However, simple advice matters just as much to the recipient as expensive presents. People typically view simple gifts as genuine because, despite how small they may appear, they demonstrate the giver's great worry and care.
A Special Gift from a Friend
I recently got a gift from one of my close high school friends. A pink ribbon was tied around the white box in which the present was packaged. I kept wondering what might be inside, and to my astonishment, there was a golden bangle that was shiny and round. I was happy and at the same time surprised because I had never received or expected such a gift in my entire life, not even from my parents.
The Meaning Behind the Gift
The bangle meant a lot to me, not because of its appealing nature but it came when I least expected it. Most of the tokens I used to get were mainly pricey and also came from individual people, therefore receiving them was just a regular thing, but this was a special one. I firmly believed that the gift came authentically from his heart because I had never told him I liked bangles. I held it dearly with a lot of satisfaction because I knew that he presented the gift to me willingly and such simple things did not require something in return. Having that bangle reminded me of how caring and sincere he was, and above all, it made me happy.
The Impact of Simple Tokens
Tokens may be simple but what matters is the way they are perceived and the impact they bring in someone's life. Therefore it is better to have a small genuine present than having expensive ones that are not meaningful.
