You may have great ideas for the betterment for your company, or have taken enormous effort to prove your talent but it all goes to drain when people around who may be your HR or boss or co-workers do not care enough to praise you for coming up with such useful ideas.All the enthusiasm, passion and involvement towards your work dies within yourself. The more you learn to appreciate others and serve as their moral support, the double they come to you after all even appreciation comes with a give and take policy.

When you be recognized in your space for your innovations, suggestions, a new type of vibe or energy seems to evolve leading to a need to work even harder to maintain this recognition as no one would like to go a step down to what they have reached so far.But the problem of being the least noticed person or falling prey to stolen recognition is common in almost all places as people have become more competitive and greedy that they never hesitate to take credit which belongs to someone else.
