In Toastmasters, which I'm a member of, you will get rewarded just for partcipating, rewarded more for trying and rewarded more for being the best.

People can, do and should be rewarded for trying. That's because trying is a bigger component of lasting success than is talent.<BR/><BR/>Rodney is showing all sorts of positive qualities in the contest and people like that.<BR/><BR/>Broaden your horizons a bit Willy and don't be quite so dogmatic.Trevor Loudonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040453691836232676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-1149490179125985252006-06-05T18:49:00.000+12:002006-06-05T18:49:00.000+12:00What a bunch of PC nonsense.

David had far greater skill than Rodney, so he should of won. The only way Rodney won because there is that idiotic voting system which encourages bleating retards to feel sorry for the worst dancer.<BR/><BR/>This PC hatred of being good at something is what is destroying our nation. I thought the ACT Party would agree with me on this one, since they want to reward private enterprise with tax cuts. Maybe ACT wants to join the Labour Party PC socialists who control our schools through the PPTA wanting to give everyone a reward for 'trying their best'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
