"السلوك يتحدد بعواقبه"
— B. F. Skinner

Simplified Meaning:
When people do things, they usually think about what will happen because of their actions. For example, if a student studies hard and gets good grades, they are more likely to keep studying hard because they like the positive result. On the other hand, if someone does something bad and gets punished, like a kid stealing a cookie and getting a time-out, they will probably think twice before doing it again. This idea shows that our actions are often shaped by what we get out of them, whether good or bad. In everyday life, this means we can change our behavior by paying attention to the outcomes, like choosing to work hard if it brings rewards or avoiding bad habits if they cause problems.
