Happiness at work
Happiness at work is one of the most important thing in everyone life. Because a lot of people works, and they don't like what they do, and at the same time they feel unhappy. Work is everything in our life. Without work we can't pay our bills, we can't live normal life, and we can't enjoy our life. So, work is very impotent in everyone life. In order to be happy in your job, you have to like what you do, to feel that you can give all your effort to be happy. We have to begin by asking some questions to ourselves. We challenge our assumptions, our conventional ways of thinking about what can be possible in our lives. We need to know that if we are happy at work or not. And, how we can be happier? How can I change my job, and start looking for something can makes me happy. I like when Tal Ben-Shaher said in his book "the pursuit of happiness," "the employee should feel that her work has a significant impact on others."(99). That is really will develop a lot in any work field.
Happiness at work is a little bit complicated. We can't feel happy all the time at work, because of course there are sometimes feel that we doing routine. But we are wrong because we have to create extra work to do, to get rid of this feeling. All that can be easy if we like our job. I like to add part from the psychologist Abraham Maslow when he wrote something about happiness at work, he said:" the most beautiful fate,the most wonderful good fortune that can happen to any human being, is to be paid for doing that which he passionately loves to do."(101). So, that is we have to love what we do,in order to be happy. Other wise we will be have a miserable time during our work times. I like to talk about my own experience. I love my work because I feel myself improving in my field. Everyday when I wake up in the morning,I want to be at my work as soon as possible.because that is part from my joy, and happiness in
my life.
Although happiness is not merely contingent on what we do or where we are but on what we choose to perceive. There are a lot of people who are unhappy at work, but they are very happy in other things. For example, an unhappy business man may learn to derive meaning and pleasure from his business if he chooses to focus on those aspects that are personally meaningful and pleasurable.Also, there are some people not only unhappy in their work, but they are unhappy in relationship,or in life general. Those make the possibility of finding happiness extremely difficult.
In the end, I would like to say that everyone can find a job or a career in where he/she be satisfied.but we can usually do better. In my opinion we can find what we like, if we give all our effort to be happy in our job. So, I like to encourage everybody to do his/her best to be happy in his/her work.
