Summary

This quote suggests that fear may be effective in driving short-term results or motivation, but it ultimately fails to provide long-term benefits. While fear can induce immediate action due to the urgency or perceived consequences, its overriding negative impact can hinder sustained performance, motivation, and overall well-being. Instead, the quote suggests that seeking alternative approaches, such as intrinsic motivation, resilience, or positive reinforcement, would yield greater rewards and fulfillment in the long run.
