I partially agree, because this really and strongly depends on two things:
You may be blessed by working at a company with a thriving transparent and fair culture with high organization of work and reward-system, in which your work will never go unnoticed or unrewarded. But you could also be operating in a hard corporate culture in which everybody is either "barking" at each other or boasting about their achievements to each other. You may have to adapt to this and make your voice heard more often (and leave the barking for dogs).
Also, depending in your whole country culture, talking about what you grandiosely accomplished at your job may be viewed in different ways from "wonderful", "normal", "unnecessary" and "boastful but acceptable" to "arrogant and repulsive". In Western European cultures (German, Dutch, English, Scandanavian), it is not exactly valued that you go around boasting about what you can or what you did using "I" too often, but it is tolerated with distastefulness. And I believe in China and Japan have a similar culture of putting team achievements above individual achievements. In other cultures like the US or Italy, it may be exactly be the opposite, assuming you are just telling the truth and you're entitled to self-promotion.
People in Italy have always liked Silvio Berlusconi, the famous business man, media tycoon and former prime minister despite his arrogant aura and long litany of scandals for a reason, they only know. In the US they have a common saying "if you have it, flaunt it", meaning if you have it, show it. Know the culture first!
YES AGREED,,, THATS TRUE.......... JUST FOCUS ON YOUR SMART HARD WORK WITH GREAT PATIENCE & SILENCE,,,, SUCCESS IS BOUND TO COME THEN PEOPLE WILL PRAISE YOU.......... SUCCESS HAS MANY PARENTS BUT FAILURE IS ALWAYS AN ORPHAN.
Yes. Let our performance and other people talk about us.
Not always true
Depending on the wrok environment you are in, the customers you deal with, the colleagues and management that you may have, sometimes you have to announce everything you do (effort) and everything you achieve (results) to ensure you get the credit and no one else steels it from you
Absolutely true, however, I would add that in present time, making a bit of noise on your success is also helpful. A bit of self promotion is always useful. There are very few decent people left who will acknowledge you or reward you with your fair share on the accomplishment.
Agreed with the answers sister shagufta because answering adequate and sufficient, and more than wonderful
It is an honorable thing to do, however in the changing times - it may not be realistic depending on various situations. Nowadays, working hard doesn't seem to be enough - with all the politics going on in a lot of organizations, in most cases, you might probably want to make that noise as well, though just enough to make sure everyone knows you are actually doing something and still playing in the game.
It may even be to the point of having to come to your boss and let him know that this is what you have been working on and achieving for your department or your company. Because if you don't, with all the competition around, somebody else still will. And the last thing you want, is let all your hardwork go unnoticed, and fade away with your silence.
i believe you are correct.working is silence means avoid confrontations that decreases effeciency and effectivenes,this way all you efforts are geared toward achieving success.
Avoid the crowd. Do your own thinking independently. Be the chess player, not the chess piece.
AGREE, and I believe in that.
Success has a habit that it will do the shouting itself
I am totally agreed about this mentioned statement Because, in my personal opinion when people starts focusing on his/her aim, gaol, So they achieved what they never ever expected to own.
In that way he creates a polished future and living wall being life.
