Awards are good!

They motivate us & most importantly, they make us feel great. It’s also a sign that your work is being noticed by people who matter.

However, it shouldn’t be the only driving factor for what you do.

As Oscar winner Natalie Portman once said:

When you start valuing yourself based on other people’s accolades, it is a little dangerous, because then you have to start valuing yourself based on other people’s insults, too.

So being grounded & staying focused is the best thing you can do for your career.

ShoutMeLoud has been consistently lucky when it comes to winning awards and creating a name for itself. 

Why?

Because we never focused on anything other than what matters for our audience. Anything that comes apart from our reader’s appreciation is just a bonus.

Last month, I got an unexpected email from Chitra using LinkedIn Inmail. She told me about the award:

When someone asks for my personal details over email, I usually ignore it. But, this time, I didn’t & replied to Chitra’s email.

Guess what?

It turned out to be the real deal. All the selected winners & companies were based on talent and nothing else.

From here, Shallu, who is also the Director of Corporate Communication for ShoutDreams, took care of everything & we received the award on 28th September at The Park Hotel in New Delhi.
