Outliers Whole Book Review part 2

     In the chapter titled, "The Three Life Lessons of Joe Flom," it is said that "Those three things--autonomy, complexity, and a connection between the effort and reward--are, most people agree, the three qualities that work has to have if it is to be satisfying." That last part, "...the connection between effort and reward," is probably, at least in my opinion, of of the most meaningful phrases in the whole book. This is because it demonstrates pride. Now, i'm not saying that I am extremely self-obsessed, and that I need EVERYTHING to be PERFECT (even though I do admit I can be a perfectionist sometimes). I am just saying that in order to be satisfied with what work one has done, they need to have that connection between their efforts and the reward. Take me  for example; I am a MAJOR procrastinator and wait until the LAST POSSIBLE DAY to accomplish everything. But I do say that even though I am doing it in a shorter amount of time (and maybe under more pressure) I still do a good job on it. I will SERIOUSLY stay up until 1:00 a.m to finish a project or assignment, and I have done that. But that's only because I am trying my very hardest at it. I probably could have finished it in half the time, but I kept fixing things and trying to make it better. And by the time I have finished it, I know that I will be able go to sleep feeling very accomplished. This would be the EXTREME amount of effort that I am putting in. On the other side, the reward, I would have to say that I would not be receiving AS MUCH because of my still being a student and that just about every piece of work I accomplish is for the sake of my own education. So, in a way, i am being rewarded through what I have learned. But also, if one is a student (such as myself), they are also rewarded with a grade to basically act as proof of their hard work and effort.
