OUTSTANDING MUNOZONIAN AWARDEE for 15 minutes… until I returned the award.
I was contemplating on keeping the award for the sake of it and just let it go BUT the honor and pride in me says it’s WRONG because the distinction of an award becomes MEANINGLESS with a wrong description:
1. It MISREPRESENTS the achievements of the awardee.
2. it undermines the CREDIBILITY of both the award and the institution that gave it.
3. Awards are symbols of honesty and merit. An error LEFT UNCORRECTED undermines those principles.
4. The award loses its VALUE if the description does not accurately describe their work, even if not intentional.
In short, I do NOT do what I do for recognition. TRUE VALUE is measured by INTEGRITY and not by awards.
I DO WHAT I DO, and that is enough. And if you don’t know what I do, it’s okay. 😎
