Seriously: Do you want to spend your working life simply being satisfied? When you look back on 50 years spent in business, do you want to be able to say, __ell, I was satisfied"?? No! Make happiness your goal. As in, __et__ make this a workplace where people are happy to work." As in, ____e been working for 50 years now, and it absolutely rocks! To me work is challenging, stimulating and just plain fun.

You can__ be happy at work every day. No matter how much you love your job, there are still going to be bad days. And that__ cool__t__ always OK to have a bad day at work.

The path to happiness at work starts with a simple decision: You must want to be happy. If you don__ commit to being happy at work, you won__ be. You won__ make the choices that make you happy. You won__ take the actions needed to get there. You won__ change the things that need to change.

Studies consistently show that happy companies are way more productive, creative and service-oriented than unhappy ones. Therefore, the happy companies will beat the pants off the unhappy ones in the market place. The future of business is happy! It__ inevitable.

See, happiness at work is an emotion. It comes from inside of you, and like all other emotions it is difficult to define, but inescapable once it__ present. Or not present. Can you define love? Poets have tried for thousands of years and aren__ getting much closer. But when you__e feeling love, you__e acutely aware of it, even though you have no formal definition.

Happiness at work is not about eliminating all the bad stuff from your job. It__ about being happy at work even though some of these bad things are present. It__ about building your skills and your energy to fix the problems, and to create more and more positive experiences at work.
