“Applause is a receipt, not a bill.”
Dale Carnegie
Every good work always receive recognition for the work done; medals, awards, rewards, profit, and applause are some of the receipts for hard work. You don't buy all these or beg for them, you work to earn them. Though it is the constant craving and the aim of weak minds, applause spur great minds to action, it motivates them to do more, go for more and become more. Applause don't come before work, it comes after work, it comes at the end of success.
Chadwick Boseman once said, "I would love to have an ocean of love right now. That said, the number-one rule of acting is, 'Do not seek approval from the audience.' People don't realize that. You can't do stuff to get applause. You have to live in the truth." applause should not come before work, you shouldn't seek people's approval to do anything you want to do, all you need is you desire, strength, and commitment to pursue, and achieve your dreams. The only license you need to be what you want to be is from yourself.
You will be truly happy when you don't expect applause from people for whatever you do, as Dale Carnegie also said, "The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another's keeping"
If you work hard you will certainly achieve success, but most importantly you will become a better person yourself, because success is not all about what you are able to gather for yourself or achieve, but what you become in the process of pursuing success. Accolades will come as an addition not because it is cheap but because you deserve it.
Put off your dancing shoes, put on your marching shoes; take off your bedroom slippers, put on your work boots; enough of the designer wears, time for the overalls, there is work to do, no time for play, life is too short to waste away. Shut your ears to the noises, let it not be a distraction; stop crying, stop whining, stop complaining, you don't get rewarded for all these, you have to get to work. Put in the work you need to achieve your goals, get the results, the accolades, and applause will flow in.
