A person who grows up getting too frequent rewards will not have persistence, because they’ll quit when the rewards disappear

Dr.Robert Cloninger, Washington University


A lot of research calls serious doubts about praising and specially praising general attributes like, you are so smart and things like that. If you are praised for your effort you know what to do to do well. To work and to persist. If you are praised with general statements like you are so good at this, if things turn south you start thinking twice about am i really that smart? That is why people who perceive themselves to be smart don't want to take challenges, there is only a downside. If they do well they are smart if they do wrong , oooops!

If you praise effort, and things don't turn good for the first time you try again and again. The worker's surpass the talented in almost all situations in life.
