Back in the day...
"If you were happy when you were working, then you were not working",
which was a bad thing...and people were told to wipe that smile from
their face and put their nose to the grindstone.
Things have changed, but not all of the views have.
Some that come through Zappos seeing happy people, working and having
fun, and can't quite see how things get done...maybe the new saying is:
"If you are happy when you are working, you are not working", which is
a good thing, because if you are happy and enjoy doing something, you
are in bliss and studies show that you are more productive and creative
while in bliss.
New perceptions can take time to reach the tipping point, so let's all keep
being happy while working, until the rest catch on...and ultimately we
will be helping to deliver Happiness to the World.
Yours in "Delivering Happiness" - Zappos and Coach
