how to have a better life

Making success inevitable it to ONLY do work that is incentive-based do that which you are rewarded and punished for the quality of your work do that matter to the outcomes, consequences, and results you get in life

If your performance isn't consequential, then you don't really care about what you're doing.

The freedom can only exist with a consequence – not from the absence of consequence. The only way of increasing freedom is by making your behavior matter more.
