It's not only "good", it's a pretty valid psychological principle. B.F. Skinner used it effectively; called "Operant Conditioning" on the theory of rewards and punishments on behavior modification. Interestingly enough, a motivator may only need to exist within the mind to be valid, and have no external force whatsoever.

Good one, Lady Zidane!
