Your Good Work And Rewards

In general we always strive to do good work, which will benefit to us or our surroundings in some way or other. That is always regarded as commendable at times. We tend to favor a lot of people around us in the hour of their need. All is well. But the problem starts when we expect something in return from them.

You do a lot favor to others and at times considering the time and support offered by you might be very crucial to them. Still you observe very little or no positive response from those people. Sometimes not even a mere "Thanks" is returned. Then it hurts. The question is .. Why?? Why do we feel sorry and sad for the cold response to our offered help?

Because at some point in time, while offering a helping hand, we introduce a greedy fellow inside us. This greedy person inside us constantly believes that the work being done would fetch us same or similar favor from the current recipients. But in real world its seldom that you receive rewarding treatment. Now when you see no favor or even worse reverse then you have very hard time in front of you. At least some precious hours, if not days, are going to be very be bad. You and your near-dear curse the hour when you supported them.

This happens to us repeatedly. If you are a person who never fixes the things in return in advance i.e. trading of good work, you face the fate regularly. ( Trading of good work is very much in the circles and its growing. People do the things and take the returns in some way or other and they do it professionally.) But for you, an ethnic follower, a religious fellow, a person with values, its the duty lend support to the needy at the hour of need.

If you are a trader kind of guy then you have to do hard bargaining next time. But if you are a person of other genre you have to adjust yourself. The basic problem is within you. You will have to contain the greedy person in you. The problem is bound to haunt you as soon as you do any work expecting the good returns. You have to lend your support to others, good or bad depends on you, without expecting anything in return.

I can assure you that your deed, good or bad, pay you dearly in some way or other. May be you have raised the children of others, the return may be like some strange people helping your dear ones at times. You can't choose the favor for sure but you'll get the return for sure. The amount of receipt always depends upon your intensity of your good work and selflessness in doing work.
