There are those that will never get trophies, for no fault of their own (born that way); and those that will always get trophies...because they were born that way.
Trophies excite the ego. Maybe that's good...maybe not. Maybe someone defied the odds and worked their tail off to beat their opponents/foes/classmates... The victory, itself, should be enough.
Trophies that say "I was there" are like t-shirts... They become more ragged & useless every time they are worn.
Why do we need trophies, anyway?
BTW - I liked the trophies I got, but honestly don't know where any of them are, today.
