Tribute to the Silent Workers

Humility is a great value to have. I admire those people who practice it everywhere they go or at least those who try to make the effort. These people don't find the need to flaunt what they have or feel the need to be recognized all the time. I have come to name them the 'silent workers'. They silently work and just do their own thing without seeking any attention or asking for anything in exchange. They don't do the talking but they actually walk the talk. Some people love to brag and bark (and bark) without doing anything fruitful. All air, nothing else.

In my work, I have come to learn that silent workers are the most effective people. They produce real RESULTS. Furthermore they don't come looking for credit, because it comes to them without any effort at all. They have this certain air of confidence, not the all out "I know I'm great" confidence kind, but the quiet genuine confidence which is a whole lot better than the first kind. They don't feel the need to announce to the world what they do, because their work evidently speaks for itself. They don't feel the need to follow suit with what the others are doing. They just remain focused and intent on delivering good results.

Humility should be the next best policy.
