Recognition

Why do some people seek public recognition while others prefer to avoid it?

In your country, what are the recognised signs of success?

How important do you think award ceremonies really are?

Should important people have streets or public places named after them? ………. (Why? / Why not?)

In your opinion, is there any area of human achievement which deserves to be more publicly recognised?

Some people say criticism can be more useful than praise. What's your opinion?
