Destiny: The Hardcore Gamer's Slot Machine - The Point

Its interesting how that can be applied to other things as well.

It is already, it is built in our lives... people are always ready to work their asses off, from elementary school ("diploma will maybe land you a good job, so study hard young man"), to corporations ("hard work will get you a promotion... maybe"). Distand reward is always a powerful incentive. Usually, this distant reward turns out to be more hard work. As Terry Pratchett said: "The reward for toil had been more toil. If you dug the best ditches they gave you a bigger shovel."
