Personal thanks are just as important as monetary compensation. You build your surroundings and support your life with money, but you build your self esteem and support your motivation with gratitude.

Having self esteem dependent on others seems like a risky strategy.

Most people's self esteem is dependent on others. That's the pay-off for being a social animal.
If you're highly self confident without any feedback from other people, chances are you're mistaken. Not guaranteed, but highly likely.
