Recognition & Attention

I am not sure what is the statistics but I have seen many people craving for recognition. I am sure many of you have heard about this and have seen people around you who do the work for Recognition. It could be at work or school or even at charitable events.

My question is how do you see the genuineness when you sense, that people are doing something great only for certain reason and that could be recognition to move ahead of their subordinate or may be feel good about them self among their peers.  

How much recognition should be given when you find someone achieving great things in life , can any one tell me whats is the right amount of recognition that should be given?, is recognition important ? what you think? and why do you think so ? . What happens if you take out the incentive out of the equation, probably we can see the true testimony of greatness, is that correct? . 

I meet with this girl who is a student  and I happened to spend sometime with her while we both waited for our Late. She was very upset and frustrated , I was wondering if the waiting time was making her so frizzy but she was kind enough to smile back and we happened to hit it off on our common interest and I allowed myself and asked her why she was so unhappy. 

She said " I just got my grades and I got A in all the subject, except one" . of course I congratulated her on her achievement and asked her if she was upset because she missed in one subject. she said "not really".  I am upset because many a times I catch people behave different to me based on my success.What irritates me is why do people judge personalities based on success and failures in one area of life. 

Of course by then we both had our coffees in hand and said bye to each other. But I kept thinking, the girl was much matured than what she seemed like and made me think about why do people need attention. She seemed disappointed because she did not like the fact that she needs to perform her best all the time only to please her peers group.

Encouraging your friend , uplifting your spouse and going the extra mile to help some these are all good gestures but they do not give us the permission to judge those who do not practice these gesticulation . If you consider yourself as a leader then you may want to create an environment where everyone around you would love to recognize people for their right work. And with people skills you can win the hearts.

Give credit to the right person for the right thing and like we all know if a person is good at one thing he/she will be good at other things as well , its just a matter of time that the person realizes his/her potential .

Do not judge people if they fail to excel at one thing in life. Fish can not climb a tree and a bird can not live in water. Every one are special in their own ways, recognize that and pay attention to what they are good at . Recognition is the key to empower people only if used in correct manner.
