Doing Vs Saying
Do you pity some of your colleagues who work hard but never mentioned about it?
I find such people in many situations – let it be your colleagues from professional world or let it be your friends in personal life.
Some people actually do very small things but while presenting it, they say lot of unnecessary things showing off how hard they worked on it. On the contrary, some people really work hard and implement many things, but do not find it necessary to explain every details, so never speak about it.
I think these both practices are absolutely wrong.
Bullshitters:
Just boasting about small actions and selling stories in which you were never involved is nothing but a bullshitting. You will be doing crime if you are showing off your little work and are expecting rewards for which you have not worked on.
Ignorants:
Whereas, working diligently and not conveying it appropriately is foolishness. Action is always respectful, but sitting quite after that is not. Your supervisor or colleague will never understand what potential you have unless you let them know about it.
Performers:
We want to be in the corner where you are first doing the things, and then saying what exactly you have done.
- You should speak so that people around you can learn from you.
- You should speak because people can tell you whether you are doing right thing or not.
- You should discuss your work so that people may come up with better ways of doing it.
- And finally, you should speak because you are entitled to get rewards and recognition for your hard work.
So hence forth, make sure when you are achieving something, speak about it – that’s how your performance will get noticed.
The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action.
