Recognition Overdosed

My dear readers,

People in this world are indulged in a race to show off our greatness and brilliance in the work they do irrespective of the quality of work or how useful it is. We also may be a part of this population.

 Today I have bought a new story for you which will give good learning for your life.

RECOGNITION OVERDOSED

There was a farmer who had a horse and a goat…..One day, the horse became ill and he called the veterinarian, who said: - Well, your horse has a virus. He must take this medicine for three days. I’ll come back on the 3rd day and if he’s not better, we’re going to have to put him down.

Nearby, the goat listened closely to their conversation. The next day, they gave him the medicine and left. The goat approached the horse and said: - Be strong, my friend.Get up or else they’re going to put you to sleep!

On the second day, they gave him the medicine and left. The goat came back and said:
- Come on buddy, get up or else you’re going to die! Come on, I’ll help you get up.
Let’s go! One, two, three…

On the third day, they came to give him the medicine and the vet said:
 "Unfortunately, we’re going to have to put him down tomorrow. Otherwise, the virus might spread and infect the other horses"

After they left, the goat approached the horse and said:

- Listen friend, it’s now or never! Get up, come on! Have courage! Come on! Get up! Get up!
That’s it, slowly! Great! Come on, one, two, three… Good, good. Now faster, come on…… Fantastic! Run, run more! Yes! Yay! Yes! You did it, you’re a champion horse!!!

All of a sudden, the owner came back, saw the horse running in the field and began shouting:
"It’s a miracle! My horse is cured. We must have a grand party. Let’s kill the goat !!"



The Lesson: 

 This often happens in the workplace & life in general . Nobody truly knows which employee or people actually deserves the merit of success & are in fact contributing towards success , or who’s actually contributing the necessary support to make things happen. Be grateful.

Remember…

LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS A SKILL  !!

If anyone ever tells you that your work is unprofessional, remember:"Amateurs built the Ark [which saved all the species]

and
Professionals built the Titanic [all died tragically]"

Always be like a currency note in life, it does not make noise yet valued higher than the coins.. -Kushal

Hope this story will motivate you to work without feeling or need of recognition. We must be clear for what are we working ? It it is only for recognition then better be a film star, politician or a cricketer .... Trust me they get more recognition than they deserve!!
