To oversimplify.
Those guys that burned my boat.
Toxic motivation.
Exactly.
That's a good way to put it.
To show them I didn't need those boats.
I'm not going back, right?
This island is better than where I came from.
I remember reading about a study on Plan Bs where they got a group of students, two groups, and then they told them to do a puzzle to win a treat.
And then in one of the groups, they told them that they could get this treat at a vending machine down the hallway if they wanted it after.
And the group that didn't understand they could get the same reward from a plan B worked significantly harder to complete that puzzle.
So there's something in the human psyche of when you know that you could get the reward in another way when you have a plan B, we work less hard at the plan A.
100%.
Logically, maybe we should.
You know, we're practical and responsible.
Remove the plan B from our mind.
Yeah.
Yeah, I just like...
I can't think of any stories from people in my sphere of influence that have tested something, quit the plan A, and then plan B just failed.
And like, they just lost everything.
