Credit where it is due??

You get credit for what you finish, not what you start.

Nice line, its also true. Half baked efforts are remembered by none. I dont agree fully with the above line though. How many times you do start something…and also finish ….but someone else takes the credit.

Take for example a bridge or flyover….the number of people from labours to engineers who work on it….but in the end the Stone laid for inauguration will bear the names Politicians.

A cook prepares the mouthwatering dishes in a restaurant…but one remembers only the Waiter who served you nicely.

A team effort in preparing a Presentation is always overshadowed by the person who runs the presentation in front of others

How many times one hears of efforts put by a certain person in preparing dishes for a house party…but in the end…other members who serve the dishes are remembered and complimented( i know the waiter line might sound similar)

Behind every successful Name are a number of unknown names, who have also worked hard, but other than monetary compensation(which in many cases is not there) never get the fame they deserve.

There are many who do acknowledge that there has been a team effort…there are some who purposely take the entire credit….while there are more than that number who always remain silent when credit is been given to them alone…thus leading to Silent is Consent kind of thing and taking the credit.
