Research led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London has provided new insights into why people often make unrealistic plans that are doomed to fail. The study, published in the journal Behavioural Brain Research, analyzed the complex relationship between reward and effort in achieving goals, and identified two critical stages in the decision-making process. The researchers found that when people first decide what to do they are motivated by rewards. However, once they begin to put plans into action, their focus turns to the difficulty of the effort they need to put in. [1] Failing. Succeeding. At the end it will rain. At the end the shine will shine again. At the end the successful will be buried along the failed ones. And the universe will cry. And the universe will laugh. Oh, dear children. Why were you afraid to die? Why didn’t you just want to go out and play and cry?
