Because most people in the world are utilitarian, they won't give you applause, including courtesy applause, when they don't see your "real money", even though it's just a little effort for them. Even when you have succeeded and produced the "real guy", they will doubt whether it is a fake or not, and they will hesitate to applaud. Therefore, the "post-success" can be a moment calculated by minutes, a few years in a year, or centuries in a hundred years.

Li Bai, a poet, quickly won applause after his poems spread. People applauded him by ordinary readers, peers in the poetry circle and even the "real dragon emperor", and the applause has been ringing until today. Du Fu was not so lucky. Although his poems were equally successful, the applause was sparse. It was not until many years after his death that he was gradually recognized by people. When he was crowned as a poet, the applause gradually became louder and louder.
Su Dongpo, who is proficient in prose, poetry, calligraphy, painting and Buddhism, is a cultural giant who has achieved great success in almost all fields he has set foot in. However, during his lifetime, he not only did not get much applause, but also had a bumpy life experience, weathered and relegated repeatedly, and even feared for his life. When the applause rang, the cypress tree in front of his grave was already thick. Fortunately, the descendants who had no conflict of interest with him were knowledgeable and did not hesitate to give a long and thunderous applause. If he knew anything underground, he should rest in peace.
The most dramatic is Van Gogh, a Dutch post-impressionist painter. He is a genius painter who has successfully created a number of great works, but no one appreciated him before his death, and he didn't even sell a painting, leading a hungry and cold life. Behind him, people gradually realized his artistic charm and regarded him as a pioneer of expressionism. His paintings deeply influenced the art of the 2th century, and received rave reviews and thunderous applause. His works, such as Starry Night, Sunflower and Wheat Field with Crows, are now among the most famous and expensive works of art in the world.

There is also Cao Xueqin, who was unknown before his death, but won the praise of the world after his death. His legacy has become the peak of Chinese literature that no one has surpassed so far.
Applause always comes after success. Since it is an unchangeable law, what we can do is to endure loneliness, resist poverty, save energy, accumulate achievements and work hard in our favorite career. Don't expect too much applause after success, and fantasize about people's support and praise, which will distract you, spoil things, and affect your struggle. Moreover, we must be mentally prepared to hear applause after success. This is because there is a process of people's recognition and affirmation of our work. After all, we do business because we really love it and because it is valuable, not for the long or short, big or small applause after success. Applause is nothing more than an accessory to the success of our business.
People are envious of the applause and aura of others after their success, but few people pay attention to the hardships and costs they paid before their success. Heaven rewards hard work, and no matter when and who it is, it is impossible to succeed casually. Without devotion, extraordinary efforts, painstaking spirit and determination to fight with one's life, it is impossible to win the favor of the goddess of fate, unable to open the door to success, and naturally unable to exchange for "prolonged thunderous applause."
"When applause rings, my heart will understand better." Applause adds color to life, and applause testifies to success. We look forward to applause, but we don't live for it.
