Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Sir-vice!
Tennis star Andy Murray knighted in New Year's Honors List
Today,
one doesn’t have to be a warrior or serve in military to be honored a knighthood
or damehood in Britain. Such honorary titles can be offered to a rock singer,
tennis champion or Olympic athlete. And this year, UK’s proud tennis hero Andy
Murray, who has won two Wimbledon titles and gold medals in the 2012 London and
2016 Rio Olympic games. is knighted in New Year's Honors List. In fact, he was
ranked number one as of the end of 2016. Perhaps more importantly, he was given
a baby daughter in the same year. Sounds like he was one of the happiest person
last year, doesn’t it? And his effort and hard work in tennis court is recognized
by the royal court where tennis originated. In any case, what matters the most
to win an honorable title seems to be service.
Enjoy
reading and thinking which sounds more significant to you, an inherited noble
title or an earned honorary title.
