When they teach chickens to play the piano
“When they teach chickens to play the piano, they use positive reinforcement.”
Consider the way chickens are trained to play the piano. A light goes on and if the chicken pecks the right key he gets a bit of corn. The chicken learns a red light means this key, a yellow light means this key, and blue light means this key.
Once the chicken learns what color matches each key, then the chicken is given a sequence of lights.
That’s the way to accomplish things, build a sequence just like training a chicken.
This saying reminds me to go out and celebrate my accomplishments. These celebrations are one of the reasons I do things — to get the positive reinforcement.
It also reminds me that when I set a large goal, I should set smaller goals along the way, so I get more positive reinforcement. More Celebrations.
If a chicken can do it, I can do it.
