My recent trip to Delhi put this concept unexpectedly to the test. I met a cabby who so enjoyed his work, he enthused me for the rest of the day.<br \/>\nHow many people do you know who are so happy in their job that their excitement bubbles over onto you? As I entered the cab a lively, \u201cHello Sir, good morning how are you?\u201d greeted me. I felt welcomed and wanted. Without being intrusive the cabby chatted, asked if I was comfortable and concluded the trip by expressing his best wishes to me. He really made my day. Here was something so obvious that I asked myself, \u201cHow many of us are really happy in our work?\u201d Are we just doing a job for money, for the sake of keeping management happy? Unless we are really happy in our work we are spending nearly a third of our lives being unhappy. This is neither good for us nor the company for whom we are working. All of us should occasionally give ourselves a \u201chappiness check-over\u201d. Because being happy in our work not only helps us but enables everyone in our team to bounce off each other.<br \/>\nThere is surely no better ethos to have within a company. Keeping this ideal in mind will help focus endeavours at our November strategy meeting being held in Sri Lanka; where discussions about our design and budget strategies, driven along with an enthusiasm for our work and company, are bound to result in more vision orientated winning ideas.<br \/>\nHappy Reading\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is said that travel broadens the mind.\u00a0 What is certainly true is that, if we keep our eyes open and observe what is happening around us, we may realise the obvious is sometimes forgotten.
