People thrive on positive reinforcement.

Don't insult or belittle your people. Instead of getting more out of them you will get less

The ordinary man is living a very abnormal life, because his values are upside down. Money is more important than meditation; logic is more important than love; mind is more important than heart; power over others is more important than power over one's own being. Mundane things are more important than finding some treasures which death cannot destroy.
