I used to believe that putting work first proved I was committed.
But here’s the reality:recognition comes long after effort.
People won’t always clap for you in the beginning.
They won’t see the late nights, the sacrifices, or the risks you take.
They wait until there’s proof before they applaud.
That’s why the most important skill is…

That if you gave your all, people would notice.
But here’s the truth: the most dangerous phrase in leadership is “we’ve always done it this way.”
