It is the time to have lots of patience! Yes.. this is the time when your management will decide how much useful you're for their organization. You will be appraised by your organization. Soon skyscrapers of guilt, sadness & depression will start building around you. This is the time when you will have to keep calm. Be relaxed, because this is usual. And in case if you are working in an organization where the bosses get satisfaction by one's buttering instead of output, your patience will be put on a test. But a question is...
"When will you pass?"
I have seen many organization where there is a bunch of people who are always trying to impress their bosses by buttering them, either to get a promotion or a HEALTHY increment. For example, I know a person who works in a reputed company. Working as a assistant, he books a bill of "Tractor Hiring cost" under the head of Infra Cost. If you a person sitting in such a big office, you must know the difference between two different costs. The same person is promoted to "Manager" that year! Strange! Let's take it in a hilarious way. What will you do if the same thing happens to you?
World of imaginations:

| ACP Pradyuman from CID |
Games of imaginations must be played. It relaxes your mind too, makes you happy & lightens your heart. Like ACP Pradyuman, he has been solving cases in CID for last 17 years. Have you noticed? He has never got a promotion till date. Still he is working faithfully with his team. Daya is breaking the doors since then, Salunkhe has even got his hair back but Pradyuman didn't get a promotion and solved almost 100% cases except the cases of rapes & gang rapes ( In 17 years, he wasn't given similar cases). Well this is the character that teaches you to wok hard in all conditions, with lot of dedication & with lot of courage & motivation. But this may be not possible in real life. You are usually frustrated when you hear about your appraisal . You imagine yourself in a character of Daya who breaks his boss' door & ask,"Sir! What is this?" Or, when you go to sleep, you see yourself as "Chris Gayle", your Boss is bowling as your opposition and you are ready to take revenge. But this is not possible in real life, isn't it?
Time to get motivated:
 |
| Farewell of 'Devacha Mulga' Sachin Tendulkar |
So then we come to the point to get motivated under this situation. You must have seen how Sachin Tendulkar retired from international cricket and gave his speech in the Wankhede Stadium. He didn't cry but he made many eyes filled with tears. But if you see the other side of his interview, you will be able to learn more about yourself. Why are you failing? Why are you so unsatisfied? And how should you be able to be like other without buttering others? He spent 24 years of his life in 22 yards. He did nothing except scoring runs, taking wickets & catching the ball. And see, today he has become a God. Ask yourself, "Are you able to carry on the same work that you're doing right now for 24 years?"
Patience will be the key...
Another thing he told about his coach Ramakant Achrekar, his coach who took him to Azad maidan, Shivaji Park to other places. In his 24 years of cricket, Achrekar never appreciated him. Your boss is not just only a boss but he is a mentor too. If he is the whole company, you are the shadow that follows him. And if you try yourself to get away from him, you'll either be disappointed or become useless for an organization. "Appreciation" factor should never affect your work ability. You are the only person who knows how much work you can do with less efforts and more efficiency. It is the matter of 'time' & 'result'. They will only wait when you will be able to wait. Anger, dissatisfaction, impatience & revenge are never gonna help.
Patience will be the key...
And that's why I remember Mama Gothel here, my idol who always believes in one thing,
"ALL GOOD THINGS TO THOSE WHO WAITS."
