Did these participants work less than the ones who got the low monetary payment - or, in the absence of money, did they apply social norms to the situation and work harder? The results showed that on average they dragged 168 circles, much more than those who were paid 50 cents, and just slightly more than those who were paid five dollars. In — Dan Ariely

159 Quotes By John Bingham

It was being a runner that mattered, not how fast or how far I could run. The joy was in the act of running and in the journey, not in the destination.

But you need to honor what you've accomplished, rather than thinking of what's left to be done (p. 159). — John Bingham
