I speak English. Heck, I had enough credits to major in it. I even know how to spell most of the words. But I have no idea what “soft and non chemical rewards” or “CJ” means.
Maybe I am too darn old.

Soft=non carbonated
Non chemical I assume means non alchoholic
CJ…it’s Matt…who knows
What does that cost in the US? When I was in Laos and Thailand, it was $2 to $3 per hour…
No, I just wanted to keep cautious when speaking about things that don’t fit in the law frame (in most countries). Kids can read the forum and I didn’t want to be a bad exemple for them (too late!:o … ).
But I don’t understand CJ either… but no need to explain, I guess it’s enough on that thread
I know what you mean, I tend to do so… But I know that the more you reward yourself this way, the less you’ll get opportunities to REALLY deserve the reward
in ways that arnt apropriot for this thread ( jk jk jk jk )
by making my self pass out
are they appropriate for this thread?
and Gilby, it depends…all the ones my mom have had are about 15-20 bucks an hour though…
Here in California, I believe $60-80 per hour is the going rate.
As for rewards, isn’t the accomplishment the reward? I mean, I generally seek out accomplishing tasks that I mostly enjoy. In fact, I don’t know that anything demotivates me more than failing to see the good in a difficult task.
I pay about $35 for a massage.
I don’t know, I don’t really reward myself for much. I like to “reward myself” when I learn a new trick, by pulling it for people here and there I guess.
The more I think about deserving and rewarding, the more I realize how foreign this way of thinking is to me, even though I am aware of this mindset in others. I guess I often try to find the joy in all that I do, and that is the reward. There’s no need for extra motivation or celebration afterwards. If I find that I don’t feel motivated to do something, I either convince myself of the ultimate good or find another way.
And, as far as deserving is concerned, since I view justice as only an ideal never attained in reality, deserving is irrelevant to my reality. Thus thinking about deserving is just a waste of time and energy. What constitutes my reality is what it is. Sometimes I get “what I deserve” and sometimes I don’t. Either way, I still find enjoyment and motivation in life.
Jonny, when you get older and have kids and begin doing everything for someone other than yourself, that will probably change.
Then, you’ll get drunk
just kidding
