All relationships use both rewards and punishments. Carrots and sticks can each be very motivational, but the best results happen when we understand the following:
>A carrot dangles in front, a stick strikes from behind.
>A carrot attracts, a stick repels.
>A carrot is a focal point, a stick means pain.
>A carrot is a goal to strive toward, a stick is something to be avoided.
>A carrot can add to good feelings, a stick's most positive result is the lack of bad feelings.
>A carrot strengthens relationships, a stick increases separation.
>You can move someone with a stick, you can steer someone with a carrot.
