I am Stressed.... I need motivation....

I am an IT Professional and so called people who are stressed with their work. Recently, when we were addressing a bunch of campus recruits in my organisation, I was talking about the importance of celeberating wins and we should not ignore even the smallest of wins. I am one of the practitioner of that and my team will always have a reason to celeberate and make noise. Why do we do this ? To motivate the team, as a stress buster.

This morning when the NSG Commandos came out of the Taj Hotel after 60 hrs of non stop action after a job very well done, there was absolute calm and there were absolutely no euphoria or congratulatory gestures. When the reporters thanked them for their valour, they said " We did our job."

Isn't their job stressful? 60 hrs of action, even if they are not alert even for a second, they may harm the operaions and they may even lose their life. How many meals they would have skipped? What would there families be thinking of them? Would they even be sure that they would come out of the hotel alive?

Dont they need to be motivated? Should they not celeberate their wins? When they admit that it is their job and need no appreciation for what they have done. What are we doing? Why do we need constant motivation and encouragement to even do our job?

We dont need encouragement, we need to be pampered... I strongly feel thats what is happening..
