On a cold day like today it is good to remember last summer. This is not me by the way. I stumbled upon this little family whilst walking along the beach one day. It looks such fun hey.
Happiness At Work
I read this blog last night. I totally agree with what the author is putting forward here. Work is such a central part of our life and if we aren’t happy there it can be bad for our health. I love Riccardo Semler’s books and I have also enjoyed Anita Roddick’s writing on this topic as well as everything she writes.
I think happiness is always our own responsibility, yet having said that as an employer there are ways to encourage it and not. I look forward to reading Alex’s book on this and watching his process as well.
I have lots to do today and normally this kind of workload would make me groan but I can’t help feeling happy for lots of reasons.
My part time job – taxi
I am running the son to Jeeralang today. I used to hear parents complain about running their kids around and dismissed it. I never realised how time consuming and interupting it is. A parent should be able to ‘just say ‘no” but in reality you are then stuck with a long faced teenager behaving like a two year old. It is emotional blackmail. It works effectively for them as it did for me when I had the services of my parents. Actually my kids are pretty good really. They walk around town to many of the places they have to go and although they sometimes complain about this, most of the time they accept it as reality.
