Recognition

Good day friends. Sorry for coming here a bit late today. One of the greatest motivations in life is recognition. It increases commitment and productivity. Truth is, we all want to be recognized for whatever we have achieved in life. People may take a job for more money, better condition or in pursuit of a career but, more often than not, they hold on to it for more recognition. Recognition is essential to the performance, development and success of anyone, and while there are several methods of motivating people, one that reaps huge benefits is recognition. It lets people know that their performance was valued, and increases the likelihood that they will continue to perform well. It builds confidence and encourages people to try new things and develop their skills. However, sometimes, we feel discouraged from doing much, probably because we, as humans, feel that we are not recognized for something we have done, or that someone else is taking credit for what we have done. In such cases, the best we can do is to encourage our self by motivating and recognizing our self. Sometimes, if we wait for it to come from others, we feel resentful when it doesn't, and when it does, we may well reject it. Desire is the key to motivation, but it is the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal -- a commitment to excellence – that will enable you to attain the success you seek. This is the greatest recognition, and in no time, you will be rewarded. I encourage us today not to focus on human recognition. Rather, we must learn to motivate ourselves and reach for the sky, it is only a matter of time before you will be recognized for your achievements. Have a great weekend.
