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.

You can motivate by fear, and you can motivate by reward. Bu

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.

Although this may seem a paradox, all exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation. When a man tells you that he knows the exact truth about anything, you are safe in inferring that he is an inexact man.

The main village, which includes the Railroad station, is bu

The main village, which includes the Railroad station, is built around a village green or informal park. In the park will be benches, a bandstand, drinking fountain, trees, and shrubs. It will be a place for people to sit and rest; mothers and grandmothers can watch over small children at play. I want it to be very relaxing, cool, and inviting. Around the park will be built the town. At one end will be the Railroad Station; at the other end, the Town Hall. The Hall will be built to represent a Town Hall, but actually we will use it as our administration building. It will be the headquarters of the entire project. Adjoining the Town hall will be the Fire and Police Stations. The Fire Station will contain practical fire apparatus, scaled down. The police station will also be put to practical use. Here the visitors will report all violations, lost articles, lost kids, etc. In it we could have a little jail where the kids could look in. We might even have characters in it.
