I think there is also a lot to be said about motivation stemming from 'being in control'. A lot of employees just 'do the day job' because they do what they're told, then sit there and wait for the next task. If you have a list of tasks to do, ask them which they would prefer to do - if they chose it, then they tend to feel they'd better do a good job to prove to themselves that their selection was correct!

I completely agree with your opinion that metaphors allow people to read and to remember such articles very easily. I will try to use this technique as often as possible! Yours, Hauke Hi Suzy,
