Israeli Kindergarten. Dual-income couples often arrived late to pick up their children. As a result, the kindergarten implemented a rule that parents would face a fine if they were late; however, even though this introduced a penalty system, it also led to more delays in pickup times. By replacing feelings of guilt with money, paying a fee for being late became the new norm. After recognizing the mistake and removing the fine system, what happened? More parents started arriving late. When money becomes involved, the exchange of value fundamentally changes the nature of the relationship. And once that change occurs, it doesn’t revert. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
An effort is not meaningless in itself, but it does not guarantee progress. Instead, progress is a result of time. Effort leads to progress over time. At this point, there’s a premise: time-flow! Some things can only be seen with age. The passage of time transforms both the world and myself. I simply need to make an effort to adapt to the world’s changes. After all, effort equates to persistence.
