“I think that teachers have the hardest job in the world, and they are the most unsung heroes so much of the time.” —Emma Walton Hamilton
Most people on the planet Earth die as unsung heroes and heroines. Only a few people are recognized for their contributions. Although most people work hard with passion and wait with patience to achieve recognition and success they fail miserably during their lifetime. And the world respects successful people, not unsuccessful people. In this regard, we will discuss the causes of unsung people and offer tools to die as sung heroes and heroines.
Causes for Lack of Recognition
“In our world of big names, curiously, our true heroes tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues who can be admired for something more substantial than his well-knownness often proves to be the unsung hero: the teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop, the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.” —Daniel J. Boorstin
Here are some reasons for the lack of recognition for some people despite working hard. They led a simple and humble life. They remained quiet and were too shy to promote and brand themselves. They failed to hog the limelight. They failed to network and make a noise. They lacked tact and diplomacy. They acquired hard skills, not soft skills. They could not manage politics. Usain Bolt rightly remarked, "Competition is the easy part. Behind-the-scene is where all the work is done." They might be on the wrong side when opportunities are thrown at them. They were not prepared to seize opportunities. They worked for their causes, not applauses. They were givers, not takers. Above all, their preparations did not meet the opportunities.
Tips to Achieve Success in Your Lifetime
“Everyone dies. Not everyone really lives.” —William Sachs Wallace
Observe the following tools and tactics to achieve success and fame during your lifetime. Learn when to hold and when to fold. Be adaptable. Be flexible and adaptable. Take risks. Remember, not to take a risk is also a risk. Emphasize more on smart work and less on hard work. Improve your quality of connections and friends. Reinvent with changing times and technologies to remain competent and relevant. Never be scared of failures. Treat failures as lessons and move on with valuable takeaways. Never stop dreaming big because of failures. Take feedback regularly to identify what did not work to adopt new tools and techniques. Hire mentors and coaches to acquire knowledge, skills, and abilities and ensure that your career ladder is leaning on the right side of the wall.
Conclusion
"The womb from which you emerge determines your fate to an enormous degree for most of the seven billion people in the world." —Warren Buffett
Be happy that you have contributed your best. Be happy that you have made a difference. Be happy that some of your friends have earned fame and enjoyed all the facilities. Inculcate the attitude of gratitude. Remember, if everyone achieved success and fame these words would have lost relevance forever. To conclude, contribute your best irrespective of the outcome to avoid regrets on your deathbed.
"I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and saw that service is a joy." —Khalil Gibran
