Men are moved by two levers only: fear and self-interest. – Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon's saying that fear and self-interest drive people is pretty straightforward. Fear keeps us from danger or failure, while self-interest pushes us to get the things we want. Think about it. Why do people stay in jobs they hate? Fear of not paying the bills or losing stability. On the flip side, entrepreneurs risk a lot for the chance of big rewards because of self-interest. Take a friend who's stuck in a relationship they don't like. Fear of being alone keeps them there, but if they're thinking about what they really want, self-interest might just push them to make a change. Here's a quick tip: next time you're hesitating, ask yourself if it's fear or self-interest holding the reins. Sometimes, just naming it helps you make a better choice.
