In today's world, everything is "instant" - instant food, instant gratification. Also, when success is being measured on perceptions and not on work done, the question that always comes to my mind - "should I work or should I show that I work"
Me being of old school of thought - always used to think that if I work hard and smart, then results would speak for itself. However, looking at many of people working around, I fear that gaining perception rather than putting in hard/smart work is gaining momentum. With information clearly available and jobs in demand, I find that people learn theory and then experiment in their jobs. While this approach is OK, there could be few people who work hard and does not build up perceptions, left alone in this process
However, my experience has been - patience is definitely worth the wait. While people can move swiftly using perceptions that they have built, hard/smart work definitely pays. It is only matter of time, work put definitely outmanovores any perception

Cheated by Ezeego
I had booked a hotel reservation through www.ezeego.com and had paid the amount in full on 22nd Apr 08, however, after continuous follow-up only, I got a confirmation voucher. When our family went happily to the hotel, hotel declined the reservation as they had not got any confirmation voucher from Ezeego. After promise from my side that confirmation voucher would be sent, they gave us a room. Imagine, whole family travelled for 6 hours and waiting at the hotel reception, hungry and tired !!!!
After 2 days of calling to Ezeego, their customer service officer told me that there was a problem and I need to pay the hotel on my personal capacity and the amount would be re-imbursed by Ezeeego. I had no other option but to pay, once I returned back to Bangalore, I raised a cancellation request.
It is about 25 days now, only 40% has been re-imbursed, that too, after lot of follow-up. All I hear is that "wait for 72 hrs and refund will happen", but apparantly, refund has not happened.
I wonder, do humans become so desperate so that they need to cheat on others, isn't honesty any more about being good
