OK then how much would you be willing to bet that you could demotivate or motivate me?
The difference in the wallet theft vs. motivation idea is that you have 0 control over my motivation. I am in 100% control of my motivation. You may be able to try to increase or decrease my motivation but you can’t control it.
Motivation’s not a thing you can pick up and take like a wallet. It’s not real and it’s mine.
- BobaFloutist 3y agoI think if I were your direct supervisor I'd be about as confident in my ability to demotivate you as I would be in my ability to steal your wallet if I were a proficient pickpocket.
- paulcole 3y agoAnd you’d be wrong, in my opinion. If you’re a proficient pickpocket you’d be able to use your skill to take my wallet. I have no skill at actively protecting my wallet or knowing anything about pickpocketing. If you’re my boss, I’m very confident that my ability to maintain my motivation is superior to your ability to demotivate me. I’d confidently bet $5,000 on that — not that it’s a wager we can play out unless we work together one day.
