Which could even just be jokes.

2018-04-08 11:32:06 UTC  

the insult makes it harder to find the satisfaction

2018-04-08 11:32:22 UTC  

Some people work hard just to hear some jokes and have some laughs.

2018-04-08 11:32:52 UTC  

nobody is going to work for the jokes

2018-04-08 11:32:56 UTC  

I guess you could ask for something else other than money, but l don't know why you would

2018-04-08 11:33:07 UTC  

probably not for too long, no, but it's an example

2018-04-08 11:33:08 UTC  

Money is simpler

2018-04-08 11:33:20 UTC  

in fact if you have a good sense of humor it might be hardert to get people to work hard

2018-04-08 11:33:25 UTC  

anyway, obviously I don't know how to explain this to you

2018-04-08 11:33:41 UTC  

I tried

2018-04-08 11:33:50 UTC  

Maybe

2018-04-08 11:33:55 UTC  

now it's just frustrating

2018-04-08 11:34:06 UTC  

I can't take care of people by giving them nice feelings to have, and i can't get them to do anything, because i suppose they dont see how their skills might carry over

2018-04-08 11:34:34 UTC  

well taking care of people isn't the same as encouraging hard work

2018-04-08 11:34:44 UTC  

we're obviously thinking on different wavelengths

2018-04-08 11:34:48 UTC  

rightfully they shouldnt work hard where they actually are, but they shouldnt stagnate while theyre there

2018-04-08 11:35:42 UTC  

It seems to be that it's the people who value hard work for reasons other than money that will be the ones to work hard even when they aren't getting paid well and don't "love" or "enjoy" it.

2018-04-08 11:36:03 UTC  

Those people appreciate pure hard work and discipline because they know all the other benefits they bring.

2018-04-08 11:36:40 UTC  

I mean, money is an aspect no doubt but not the whole picture.

2018-04-08 11:36:47 UTC  

its the entire picture

2018-04-08 11:36:53 UTC  

well we disagree

2018-04-08 11:36:56 UTC  

lol

2018-04-08 11:37:11 UTC  

I don't think you should work hard just for the sake of hard work, that just some pointless

2018-04-08 11:37:17 UTC  

I'm not religious but to use religious imagery, God is the entire picture.

2018-04-08 11:37:21 UTC  

so take that

2018-04-08 11:37:23 UTC  

the problem is caused by lack of money, perhaps the scales being offbalance

2018-04-08 11:37:45 UTC  

ok well, money is god, in the particular situation

2018-04-08 11:38:19 UTC  

how about this--how do i get them to value the development of their skillset? i am not trying to fill them with virtue

2018-04-08 11:38:41 UTC  

a gun

2018-04-08 11:38:45 UTC  

how about that

2018-04-08 11:38:49 UTC  

throw em in chains

2018-04-08 11:38:59 UTC  

you want them to have the skills they need and theyre in a place where their practice only benefits someone else

2018-04-08 11:39:17 UTC  

make em forget their names

2018-04-08 11:39:24 UTC  

someone else will do that to them

2018-04-08 11:39:27 UTC  

only let them see the sun once a day

2018-04-08 11:39:33 UTC  

that'll do the trick

<:think_woke:378717098681171988>

2018-04-08 11:41:43 UTC  

maybe my question lacks articulation

2018-04-08 11:44:29 UTC  

lets say i work a deadend job and i have a sideventure on weekends and i need some people. i work with 10 dummies and 2 smart people who are lazy at their job because why shouldnt they be. i need them to demonstrate some basic proficiencies and a desire to improve themselves so we can all make money together on weekends or i won't even think of them.

2018-04-08 11:47:10 UTC  

find out what they want and give it to them

2018-04-08 11:47:18 UTC  

money
