Is there someone you are very proud of?

Hi ruby..yes I have friend he is in his 60.s and does freelance gardening has an allotment which he grows all sorts of veg.he lives on his own and is always giving to other people to help them out especially his veg he still does the odd bit of painting for people for minimal money but yet he is just happy to see others happy and to help them but also expects nothing in return..I would enter him for the awards ceremony and I live in the UK too...littleowl

[i]Hi ruby, hmmm....for a big time nominations like those who served the community without asking for any payment and without demanding for any favor in return..I have no one in mind even our officials! LOL![/i]

Hello ruby. It is so nice that you have such an awards ceremony for ordinary people. Well, I think that I am most proud of my dear mother who has done so much for the neighbouring residence all her life. My mother is a very nice lady, so caring, considerate and helpful to our neighbours and even people we don't know so long as my mother can offer help. So I will only vote my mom for the award if we have a similar awards ceremony. Thank you for your discussion.

Ruby ,there are tons of people for whom I have nothing but the greatest admiration,we dont give though to all of those in the forces who have fought in the world wars for us,they lost thier lives so that we may have a better standard of life.We now need to think of the families whos children are serving in the armed forces out in Afghanistan an Iraq,each day brings news of another of the armed forces personnel that has either been lieed or maimed,we need to just keep thanking our lucky stars that we have those forces who protect us.

hi dear ruby all countries do something for their country men so that the others should be encouraged. you know in india sept 17th. is celebrated as the "vishwakarma day" vishwakarma ji is supposed to be the god of creating things!! so on this day we, i mean the country celebrates and awards the contribution of the labour , engineers etc, who have made significant contributions in the mprovement of either a system or made significant savings in the cost with some of their innovative idea or such similar things!! they are honored at he national level!!

There are so many people that do good jobs Ruby that it would be hard to pick any single person out for an award.I know this is lightly off the mark but its along the same lines.Each year we have an honours list,and there are a massive number of people who are given an MBE ,or a CBE or an OBE,and theri acheivements in life have been very little compared to some of our true heroes.We have time and time again seen the average man of the street being bypassed for a film star,a pop star or a director who has directed a best seller,or a box office hit.I think that the powers that be should take a long look at the honours list and look at the ordinary people who do great things,things of great courage and tenacity.
