A sign reads in my Office

Sacrifice

"Your Role may be Thankless, but if you're willing to give it your all, you might just bring success to those who outlast you."

----
Is sacrifice really that? you give it your all and you bring success to those who outlast you?

What if those who outlast you also kick you out

? Will success remain in their custody?

Your views on this?

Another Sign on my office wall about Sacrifice reads:

"All we ask here is that you give us your heart."

If sacrifice is giving away your heart, then, when lovers give their heart to each other symbolically, does it mean they are sacrificing their ownself for the other?

Some food of thought..... or may be nothing... To me giving heart/sacrifice is a relevant term... A bowl of rice can be "the heart" for a poor kid who does not have anything to eat.

Come to think of it, when we look for others to sacrifice for us, we snatch their hearts from their chests. Does sacrifice always have to require a cruel bahvior?

Some office signs are hard to read and ever harder to properly interpret. When you really start to read signs, you can tell that they can turn into a chug of war. A lot of signs in offices (and even homes to an extent) revolve around the term "success".

"Your Role may be Thankless, but if you're willing to give it your all, you might just bring success to those who outlast you."

I would go back to one of your own points and what other members discussed about "satisfaction" and what it means to you. Success and satisfaction are sometimes interchangeable, and it encompasses a broader view that unless others are satisfied of you, you will always be one step closer to success but never really achieve it. If you are willing to give it your all, what is to say that other people who are outlasted have less thankless roles?

This is one of the things that is stuck in my mind after reading the last part of the quote. Sometimes the success is not defined by how well you do personally, but how much "success" you bring to the team or a company, as a whole. Success also means that your role is thankless but sometimes these signs are misleading.

In a way, it all ties back together. Yes, it does; it does in this quote, it does in reality. Sacrifice can come in little ways, big ways, but it does not equate to a cruel behavior. If you can sacrifice something for somebody, you don't expect to snatch their heart out of the chest in return. If they sacrifice little, that is also a "success" and not necessarily a cruel behavior, in my opinion.

All I know is, I've been sacrificed by the economy
