In Chapter 9 of the Bhagavad Gita, there is a beautiful sloka (verse 22):

tesaam nithyabhi yukthaanaam yoga kshemam vahaamy aham

Sri Krishna's Energy Drink - 14. Equanimity is Yoga

Sri Krishna's Energy Drink - 13. Never be motivated by the reward

"Do the work as a duty, but do not think about the rewards for doing the work" says Sri Krishna.

You certainly have the right for performing the prescribed activities but never at any time in their results. You should never be motivated by the results of the actions, nor should there be any attachment in not doing your prescribed duties. (Bhagavad gita, Ch. 2, verse 47)

To those who strive to realize God and succeed in the endeavour, all knowledge of the vedas and all other holy scriptures would be revealed by God Himself.

Sri Krishna's Energy Drink - 9. Science of action

...
...

For going to school they need a reward, for studying they need a reward, for getting good grades they need a reward, for sitting, standing, eating, sleeping, for everything they need a reward. If they don't get a reward, they cannot perform any task. Sri Krishna says that it is the thought of the reward that binds every individual to the cycle of births and deaths.

People start thinking about the reward before they start the work itself.
