Since you don't have a boss, you have to try to provide your own rewards, in the form of the satisfaction you get from a job well done or getting paid (well). Or take yourself out to dinner :-)
Could you kindly explain why the author says "But you can try to approximate them"? I know the literal meaning of the word and "them" refers to "external rewards" here. But it is still unclear what it means by the author saying so. |
