I think we should not consciously woory about appraisals. We should do our karma and not think about rewads. Rewards would definitely come - as a logical outcome. But if we too much worry about the results, we miss our goal. Our goal should be the work in our chosen field and not the money or annual increments.
Money should alwayys be by-product of our actions. It cannot be our dirct goal. The really successful and rich persons in life have not directly cared about rewards. They chose their one passion in life and endeavoured tirelessly towards the same. All good things in life come from persons for whom money was the by-product, not the direct goal.
As an eample, the best and the most profitable films are made by persons who really have to say something, have a passion for some subject and want to communicate. Bad films are made by perons whose sole aim is to earn money (and they fail to earn even that).
