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”
If you don’t examine your mind occasionally, you may find yourself dominated by it. The issue is that our minds are far from perfect. The mind is not directed or influenced by your life; rather, it feels satisfied when it achieves a sense of balance . However, achieving balance doesn’t always equate to perfection. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
