7.Summary
We set ourselves a task, and give ourselves a reward to promote the completion of the task. Although these rewards will only make us far away from our goal. In this case, we often fall into temptation and feel proud instead of ashamed. Although it is human nature, we should try to overcome it.We should pay attention to our goals and clear our direction. In this way, it is not difficult to forget the rewards that are contrary to our goal.
