Reflections 2

I'm still thinking about the Ch7 motivation stuff we covered. I'm of the opinion that making decisions because of emotions never ends well in the long run. What makes people happy is always changing and eventually people will run out of emotionally satisfying things that they can do to make a living and wish that they had made decisions for other reasons. Very few people that are higher up in management positions started working hard for promotions because of the title they would receive, they did it to have a more comfortable life style. The ones that did do it for reasons like title and power over others are not going to be deserving and are not going to perform well when they get to the highest position they wanted to achieve. However, if you are doing your work for the tangible benefits then you are likely to keep working hard to continue to receive bonuses and raises and commissions and benefits, because as long as you continue to perform better there is always more you can do at your current spot to get the tangible benefits that can be used to do anything you want.
