“My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group there was much less competition there”
— Indira Gandhi
Simplified Meaning:
There are two types of people: some who actively work hard and others who simply take the praise for it. It’s better to be one of those who work hard because fewer people choose to do the actual work. For example, in a school project, there are students who do all the planning, research, and presentation. Then, there are the students who sit back and let others do everything but still want to be recognized at the end. If you focus on being like the hardworking students, you won't have to fight for recognition because fewer people are willing to put in the effort. Plus, being a diligent worker means gaining true skills and knowledge, which can lead to more success in the long run. So, whenever you find yourself in a group setting, aim to contribute actively rather than just aiming to get the credit without doing the work.
