I guess I've never been motivated by rewards, most people would say I expect too much from my own son. Manners, Respect and effort.
Back on topic... Where I grew up that's a complicated one,I'm long gone from there now. But the mentality is there. Want to eat, work hard and find plenty of side hussles. People weren't cold hearted, if you couldn't pull your weight then no one else could afford to look out for you.
No matter what you did, could be stacking shelves, working the 7-11 or lifting those nice shiny Daytons off the car next street over. Just Be good at it.
Empty belly= motivation.
Most of the time there ain't no 3rd place😁
Funny how people think these basic things could be too much. What's wrong with society!
Yeah mate, I like what you say...Hussle. I don't mean in an illegal manner, just a get after it attitude. You know, make something happen. I'm not one for awards and all, never needed medals, or wanted them...The result is the reward. Of course rewards are part of life and so I received one or two...But only if I deserved them. I'm not the guy that likes getting let to win.
