Enjoy Working

Till 14 Feb 2010, we have only 24 hours in a day and hope in upcoming few years it will continue to have the same. Now just think, “How do we spend these 24 hours of each day?” All we have to earn money for survival, so we have to spend about 9 hours at our work places. To maintain good health we need to sleep 6 to 7 hours. For traveling and shopping we are spending average 3 hours a day. So … “How many hours now are we spending for us?” … its only about 5 residue hours per day.

That means we have only 21 per cent of a day with us. And all we know, Life is beautiful … It’s a precious gift of God … Enjoy the life to the fullest … now the most crucial question arise, “How should we enjoy life in these 5 hours?” So, we need to gather more time to enjoy our life.

We spend about 38 per cent of a day at our work places; some times much more than that. We have to use that time to enjoy; otherwise life will be miserable and success will be detachable from us. As per famous Social Reformer Henry Ward Beec, “The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.”

So, we have to extract joy from our work. If we decide to work, we might as well enjoy it. All we need to follow or implement certain things to enjoy it …

• Make up your mind to feel good at work...

  You’ll be surprised how much better you’ll like it if you just make a deliberate decision to enjoy it.

• Keep in mind the services you are providing people through your work... The job you do helps other people. Now that is a good feeling, isn't it.

• Challenge yourself at work... Set and pursue attainable goals. Always try to do a better job. Stretch yourself and your abilities. Grow!!! That attitude can make even a dull job exciting.

• Concentrate on the good things about your job... Write out a list of things you like about your job.

• And last but not the least, Maintain good and friendly relationships with your boss and colleagues... Getting along with and liking the people you work with will make your job more enjoyable.

"What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner."
