Some people think that rewarding is essential for the good deed of a person. Others would say it shouldn’t be. In our modern society, the majority of the people expect a reward for doing a good deed. If we think it over, the good actions are not real because it needs to be rewarded.
For instance, a passenger forgot her bag in riding a taxi. The taxi driver gave it back as soon as he retrieved the bag to the owner. But then, it is debatable if he asks for a reward, then it is not a real good deed as compared with the situation of not asking for any return.

@dgobucks226 I didn't misinterpret it. I just want to share my selfless act before.

@Shavkat No problem my friend. I think your misinterpreting the quote somehow. I am agreeing with you that no returns are necessary. As the quote states, it's the impact you had on that person that is the reward, not material things
It is commendable that you have such a spirit of giving

I agree , nowadays people are expecting rewards for their good deeds. Otherwise we see very less people who do the same.

i wouldn't want it for doing a good deed but i think it depends on what the good deed was and who was involved

not always. we learned in school about positive reinforcements and giving of appreciation to those who did good.
as in the case you mentioned, i think it is good to reward the good deeds because it boosts the person's morale, and will do better next time. also, posting the good actions of others on FB will give that person more opportunities to do better, or be given better jobs, for instance.

I don't expect anything but a thanks when I do a good deed. A thank you shows recognition and appreciation for what was done.

I don't think incentives or rewards is not a good tool but yeah let's accept it, it can health people to be honest. What if there is no reward involved?

No I do not expect a reward for good deeds. I only want rewarded for my work but to me thats called earning a living and not a reward.

I never ask for rewards when helping someone out. But I try to reward someone for their help. They don't ask for it, but I feel like rewarding them. Most of them are good people as they don't accept rewards whatsoever. If someone asks something after helping out then they're probably not helping but doing business. It's my opinion, though. Noone has to agree with me. (*_*)/''!

If I did something very very nice it would be nice to be rewarded with good things to happen to me too I guess.
