Selected Quotes about Rewards as a Source of Motivation
"Rewards to not teach children to become more
responsible. The bribe becomes the focus, not responsibility. In addition, we
are not honest with young people when we give them rewards for expected
standards of behavior. Society does not give such rewards." ~ Marvin Marshall
"Studies over many years have found that
behavior modification programs are rarely successful at producing lasting
changes in attitudes or even behavior. When the rewards stop, people usually
return to the way they acted before the program began. More disturbingly,
researchers have recently discovered that children whose parents make frequent
use of rewards tend to be less generous than their peers." ~ Alfie Kohn
"Awards are so unnecessary, because I think we get so
much out of our work just by doing it. The work is a reward in itself." ~Natalie
Portman
“A kind and
compassionate act is often its own reward.” ~ William Bennett
“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no
expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the
same for you.” ~ Princess Diana
“In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments; there are consequences.” ~ Robert Green Ingersoll
“The medals don't mean anything and the glory doesn't last. It's all about your happiness. The rewards are going to come, but my happiness is just loving the sport and having fun performing.” ~ Jackie Joyner-Kersee
“In the arena of human life the honors and rewards fall to those who show their good qualities in action” ~ Aristotle
“We need to help younger people recognize their own capacity to do good, and help them discover the rewards of generosity.” ~ Bill Clinton
“There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money; luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures; ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.” ~ Seneca
