Steve, I suspect that attitude is a significant contributor to you receiving the award.
I would certainly value more someone looking to help others for the purpose of helping them over someone doing so just to get an award, assuming the advice both is giving is of equally good merit. It would also be a predictor as to the candidates likelihood of continuing to help others.
Agreed! I like what Zig Ziglar says, "You can get everything in life you want if you just help enough other people get what they want." Service is key. You'll get all the "Helpful Person" MVP's you want if your natural lifestyle is to give back. Well done, Steve. Thanks for what you do.
