It is often professed by some religious teachers that we should do our best in performing a job without paying any attention to it's result or outcome. Some believe that we are the instrument of God and hence should do our best to follow our conscience in performing a job.The result must go to God. If you do an action with the expectation of positive result, and if, by any means,that result is not obtained,then you come to grief. If you had done the same action without any expectation,then you would not care if the positive result was not there. What are your view points?

Yeah, I think we have to do our best here on earth and not just leave all the things to God. That means that when we do good here, God will surely reward your good deeds. Cheers!

I agree with it. But the results would not necessarily what we thought it would be or what we hoped it would be. We do our best and we will see the result of our work. God's blessings will be manifested in the result that is best for you. Though sometimes the results are disappointing at the beginning, but in hindsight, we realize that we wouldn't have it any other way.

I hear so much that religious people will 'pray on it' and 'give it up to God'. I don't agree with this at all. We need to be strong within ourselves and not be wimps and just let God take care of it for us. If you fight for the event to have a positive result then it is more likely to. I don't think giving it over to God to take care of is the way to go.

I agree that we should do our best in every single thing that we do. But to leave the result to God, I a bit disagree. What come in the future is the result of what we did in the past. So, if the result is not good, it doesn't mean that God doesn't love you and make it all turns bad. It's just something that you had done not max enough. It means that you have to do better the next time.
People tend to blame God for bad results in their lives and forget to thank God when good results are in.
I think, we should better look at ourselves and think back, what we did in the past until we get this result. If you slip, it means you should be careful next time. Stop creating black sheep in your life. So, do your best so you will not regret the things that come in the future.

I'm not religious, but I definitely think it's important to take control of your own life. Doing your best will always be a good thing, even if you don't get the result that you want. You'll have the satisfaction of a job well done.

Yes I agree to do the best then leave the rest to God. This is if you have strong faith to Him. That you can carry to be like others that fine for them even they are nothing on their pocket as long as they are believing on Him that God will provide and allow to God the rest. Yes i believe that He is using instrument and other way to reach us and to give all our needs. I believe on Him.

I strongly agreed!
Doing your best to ensure that you will get what you want is a good choice.
But it is better to do your best and leave the results to GOD.
Its simply because if you do your best and expect that you will get what you want but you did not.
You will somehow loose some confidence and start loosing the will to be a hard working person again.
But if you leave the results to GOD.
If you do your best and failed. It will be fine and you will just say to yourself that. "This is just a trial from GOD!"
Hope you understand my post because im not really good in english.
I hoped i helped on your discussion.
Thanks for posting this.
Happy mylotting narayan2006! :)
