Seems that many people who win awards think that 'honored' & 'humbled' are synonyms. I've never seen someone actually humbled by an award.

unless the award is "biggest asshole." or "worst to work with." ;-)

hopefully you mean saying 'humbled,' not winning 'biggest asshole' award.

since we're talking about it, in your honest opinion, what's the best/most gracious way to talk about/accept an award?

hmm...however you genuinely feel. For me: proud, honored, flattered, thrilled, grateful.

what is the emotion that makes us cry when good stuff happens- is that pride? I usually feel overwhelmed, stunned, emotional

that's a good question. Happy? Grateful? Honored? Maybe: feeling special?

feeling at once like it was all worth it? That's usually where I am. And total Goober Status.

that is it. Next acceptance speech: "Thank you for validating the the 10,000 hours of work that came before this moment."
