If you work hard?

Question

Answer 1

It's good to get a reward for your hard work but you don't always get one so don't expect one. Nobody owes you anything in life so get over it.

Answer 2

I don't think that's selfish.  A reward every once in a while for achieving your goal is well-deserved.  You never know, maybe your parents are already planning on getting you a cell phone after seeing your improvement?

My dad bet me a new car that I couldn't get above a 2300 on the SATs.  That was extra motivation for me and in the end I won the bet.  We both came off happy.  Nothing wrong with rewards.
