If someone could offer an incentive... a simple incentive... to help you attain a believable goal... what would work for you?
***
The reason for the thought:
I was reading a webcomic called "Misfile". The main character, Ash, was complaining how hard it is for her to deal with math, and how difficult it is for her to pass tests. Her friend, Emily, had been helping tutor her... so Emily decided to offer a little extra incentive with the offer of a kiss (You'd have to read the webcomic to understand aaaallll that goes behind that offer).
A cliche offer, but I like this webcomic for the way it presents its storyline and characters. I was pondering what such an offer (and from whom) would do to my sense of motivation, loooong before my brain clicked and went, "Hey, cliche!"
Heh, probably intimidate the hell outta me. It'd have to be some other, less potentially confusing reward for me.
...and I keep thinking about a chocolate cupcake.
Am I really that simple a person? *chuckling at self*

On an unrelated note... 30 degrees F on December 18th, 71 degrees F on December 19th. This state is officially whacked for weather... and for some reason I love its inconsistency.
