Some good deeds receive no applause, but that does not make them less valuable. The value of an action is not measured by how many people notice it.
A Good Cause Does Not Need an Audience
When we do good mainly for approval, the mind can become tired. When we do what is right because it is right, the heart becomes freer.
A Dhamma Perspective
Wholesome action without attachment to praise helps loosen our dependence on recognition and brings us back to the quality of our intention.

- Help someone without announcing it.
- Complete a small responsibility even when nobody checks.
- Do not measure goodness by the number of people who see it.

Do one right thing and let it remain quietly done.
Come Back Tomorrow
