All buses and trams were on strike and we met unplanned. I went to her house and took her to school.
Small stories happen on the way to school and an interesting topic suddenly appears: how to motivate without using punishment. Many opinions were given by both sides. However, we ultimately agreed that punishment may not be effective. The question is how to maintain motivation, maintain commitment and keep people working motivated, willing and happy without penalty? The story between the stick and the carrot seems to continue without end.
We were once again suddenly silent, leaving the answer open for each person to have their own answer and thoughts. We will definitely discuss this topic again.
We didn’t learn anything new about words or language, but we learned that even though we have different cultures, ages, and experiences in approaching a topic, when we have similar values, everyone will understand each other.
