After doing something good, let go 

and await the next opportunity.

Upon doing something good, some people pause and await the acclaim. If it comes in a sufficient amount, they’ll take on another such task. If the praise is insufficient or not forthcoming, they may deem such efforts a waste of energy and cease doing them.

Other people may not expect the acclaim to be immediate but will run a mental tally of the recognition they consider their due. Failing to receive the desired amount in a reasonable time frame, they too may cease such actions or decide to make the bargain terms more clear next time. 

Another group comprises those who do something good without any expectation of recognition. If it is forthcoming, they try to remain unaffected as they continue with their good actions.

The fourth group?

Not only do they not expect praise for their exemplary acts, they also prefer that others do not even know the good actions were theirs, so their good karmic retributions will not be enjoyed, and so wasted, in the form of acclaim.
