"There's no limit to what a man can achieve, if he doesn't care who gets the credit."-Laing Burns, Jr.
Getting credit for a job well done is always nice. I hope none of you become one of those people who focus their energy on doing things they know other people will see. While there are exceptions for intellectual property and various issues with compensation many of your quests to receive credit will prove fruitless. Have you ever met someone that focused all of their attention on making sure they got credit for even the most menial tasks? How much work do they actually finish? Do not go around waiting for someone to congratulate you on your accomplishments. Do not hold your breath to hear the words "Job well done." Complete a task with excellence and move on! The time you spend waiting for positive reinforcement from others could have been spent on another task. Time wasted is time lost. Unless they are your boss or can have an effect on your career, do not pay them with your attention. Focus on self-gratification techniques and do not give someone the power to break your spirit.
This post is dedicated to all of my readers who are committed to striving for excellence!
