Paul found his greatest fulfillment in giving, not receiving. For him, giving was its own reward. For him, being successful meant making others successful. For him, being joyful meant bringing joy to others. The hardest thing for most of us to do is to fight our natural tendency to put ourselves first. If you want to check your motives, follow the example set by Benjamin Franklin.
Every day he asked himself two questions. Seeing those in need and giving to meet that need keeps your priorities and your perspective right. Do not give to the poor expecting to get their gratitude so that you can feel good about yourself. If you do, your giving will be thin and short-lived, and that is not what the poor need; it will only improvish them further. Give only if you have something you must give; give only if you are someone for whom giving is its own reward.
Hard work IS its own reward. Integrity IS priceless. Art DOES feed the soul. I can't speak for every American comic, but for me, a great show is its own reward. Comedy is too subjective for awards. Loneliness is a hard thing to handle. I feel it, sometimes. When I do, I want it to end. Sometimes, when you're near someone, when you touch them on some level that is deeper than the uselessly structured formality of casual civilized interaction, there's a sense of satisfaction in it.
Or at least, there is for me. It doesn't have to be someone particularly nice. You don't have to like them. You don't even have to want to work with them. You might even want to punch them in the nose. Sometimes just making that connection is its own experience, its own reward.
There are illusions of popular history which a successful religion must promote: Evil men never prosper; only the brave deserve the fair; honesty is the best policy; actions speak louder than words; virtue always triumphs; a good deed is its own reward ; any bad human can be reformed; religious talismans protect one from demon possession; only females understand the ancient mysteries; the rich are doomed to unhappiness.
Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God's hands.
Love is its own reward Writing is simply something you must do. It's rather like virtue in that it is its own reward. To be unable to bear disapproval was an unworthy weakness. But in her case it came nowise of the pride which blame stirs to resentment, but altogether of the self-depreciation which disapproval rouses to yet greater dispiriting. Praise was to her a precious thing, in part because it made her feel as if she could go on; blame, a misery, in part because it made her feel as if all was of no use, she never could do anything right.
She had not yet learned that the right is the right, come of praise or blame what may. The right will produce more right and be its own reward--in the end a reward altogether infinite, for God will meet it with what is deeper than all right, namely, perfect love.
A simple life is its own reward. Such is the constitution of man that labour may be styled its own reward; nor will any external incitements be requisite, if it be considered how much happiness is gained, and how much misery escaped, by frequent and violent agitation of the body. If you can create something useful, its reachable audience e. On the other hand, if what you're producing is mediocre, then you're in trouble, as it's too easy for your audience to find a better alternative online.
Whether you're a computer programmer, writer, marketer, consultant, or entrepreneur, your situation has become similar to Jung trying to outwit Freud, or Jason Benn trying to hold his own in a hot start-up: To succeed you have to produce the absolute best stuff you're capable of producing - a task that requires depth.
Loquacity with tongue or pen is its own reward or, punishment. It was like his code of honour. Work that needs doing should be done. Work is its own reward. Never step back from work or you look bad. I still encourage anyone who feels at all compelled to write to do so.
I just try to warn people who hope to get published that publication is not all it is cracked up to be. But writing is. Writing has so much to give, so much to teach, so many surprises.
That thing you had to force yourself to do the actual act of writing turns out to be the best part. It's like discovering that while you thought you needed the tea ceremony for the caffeine, what you really needed was the tea ceremony. The act of writing turns out to be its own reward. Some say writing is its own reward. I write for money, but writing for money is not so bad, especially when that writing brings you joy. Virtue is its own reward , and brings with it the truest and highest pleasure; but if we cultivate it only for pleasure's sake, we are selfish, not religious, and will never gain the pleasure, because we can never have the virtue.
Now virtue may not always be its own reward, but in any case it is not usually bought and paid for at market rates. Assimilated by the deceit of its divine origin, its tenets are reward for obedience, punishment for transgression, both holding good for all time this world and another.
This moral code is a dramatised burlesque of the conceptive faculty, but is never so perfect or simple in that it allows latitude for change in any sense, so becomes dissociated from evolution, etc; and this divorce loses any utility and of necessity for its own preservation and the sympathy desired, evolves contradictions or a complication to give relationship. Transgressing its commandments, dishonesty shows us its iniquity, for our justification; or simultaneously we create an excuse or reason for the sin by a distortion of the moral code, that allows some incongruity.
Usually retaing a few unforgiveable sins- and an unwritten law. One success is inherited, And the next one is earned. While the last one is Self-sought, Self-served, And happens on its own Terms.
The beekeeper then wiped The sweat from his head And said: "The last may seem the riskiest, But the glory of achievement Is the most rewarding. Sign in. Thanks for reading Scientific American. Create your free account or Sign in to continue.

There are many who donate because they want to see their name in print or on walls in churches and auditoriums. When the receiver chooses to acknowledge a gift that way, it is a sign of gratitude and appreciation.
I refer here to those who only make the gift because they want the recognition. Then, it is no longer a gift but a purchase. There are those too, however, who give because they believe in a cause or the mission of an institution. He would say often during the Labor Day weekend that every gift helps and would encourage that those who could only send a small amount not be embarrassed by corporate gifts into thinking their gifts would not help.
Every gift was part of the grand total.
