Do people ever really outgrow gold stars? Sure, a teenager may not care whether or not his teacher puts a shiny sticker on his book report but I bet that same teenager cares quite a bit about earning athletic trophies.

In other words everybody likes being genuinely recognized for doing a good job no matter what their age and occupation may be.
