An honor, responsibility, job, money, or a shout out?
Or…
Some type of symbol that will withstand the test of time?
My vote is for the latter.
What might those types of symbols be?
- Spending time with someone. 
- Writing a letter (by hand). 
- Giving a great book. 
- Anything… that is simple, elegant, and will hold its meaning 30 years laters. 
Are these gifts always possible? Maybe, maybe not; but, that’s what makes them powerful when they’re received.
