Detach from rewards, focus on our actions and giving our best work
忘掉所謂的獎賞，專注於行動，付出最大的努力
If our sole motivation for doing something is the reward that we might get from the action, then we are setting ourselves up for discouragement. Action should be its own reward. When it is, we are forever free. Freedom is at the heart of happiness. When we don’t need someone else’s praise for doing something, when we don’t need a “carrot” for performing our work, then we are truly free to just focus on our work and make it great. When we create great work we are happy.
如果我們做某件事唯一的動力在於可能會獲得的獎賞，那么我們就不知覺走上了一條失望之路。行為本身就值得被獎賞。這樣一來，我們永遠都是“自由之身”，自由是幸福的核心。如果在做一件事時不需要別人的褒獎，也不需要對工作肯定的獎勵，那么我們就真的能夠專注於工作做到最好。一旦取得進步會非常開心。
