Quote by Homer Rice

You can motivate by fear, and you can motivate by reward. But both those methods are only temporary. The only lasting thing is self motivation.

Summary

This quote highlights that while fear and reward may serve as temporary sources of motivation, true and lasting motivation arises from within oneself. Fear-based motivation often relies on external pressures or consequences, but it lacks a genuine internal drive. Similarly, reward-based motivation may lead to short-term satisfaction, but it may not sustain motivation for the long term. Self-motivation, on the other hand, is self-generated and driven by personal purpose, values, and passion, making it a more enduring and powerful force. Ultimately, relying on self-motivation fosters intrinsic drive and a greater sense of fulfillment.

In its purest sense, nicknaming is an elitist ritual practiced by those who cherish hierarchy. For preppies it's a smoke signal that allows Bunny to tell Pooky that they belong to the same tribe, while among the good old boys it serves the cause of masculine dominance by identifying Bear and Wrecker as Alpha males.
