Self-Recognition versus External Evaluation

In a world and time when Effort requires Approval, Motivation is a Pull not a Push, Recognition is a must not an Option, you are too DUMB to be too late to not do it, and too FOOL to stay if you do not get it . . "it" means the Recognition you deserve.

But what is it that you "DESERVE"? Is it your self-recognition you set while you stare yourself at the mirror doing your job the whole year round? Or is it the Recognition you got when you receive the figures from your organization printed in a fixed black ink that will never be changed, not within another year . . . hopefully?

As you ask yourself this question, looking at the mirror, you may see a dainty, elegant, benevolent, boss-like, industrious, superb, well-groomed, excellent, outstanding employee looking back at you, then you said to yourself, i need this Recognition. Of course you do. 

BUT, are you really that person?

What if this Recognition is set by someone in another perspective, looking at you, from external, from a different viewpoint, from 60-degree perspective, and they see a puppet, stupid and unworthy.

In the case where Expectations do not meet, you have two options, where Fight is not that often a good choice, go on do your Flight. Life never loses its options. Life goes on.

Do not linger too much pitying yourself.
"You are a child of the Universe. You have the right to be here..." as Desiderata goes.
So pick your self-esteem and go on pack-up your things to where you can find your most valued Recognition.

Above all, always "Manage your expectations." and you will live and love longer :D

For those people, who whines too much in this kind of situation, i sympathize, its normal to feel that way. But I pity you if you stay that way too much longer.
