Happiness at Work

"I think if we make a special effort to cultivate good relationships with people at work, get to know the other people, and bring our basic good human qualities to the workplace, that can make a tremendous difference. Then, whatever kind of work we do, it can be a source of satisfaction. Then you look forward to going to work, and you are happier there. You think, Oh, I'm going to work to see my friends today!" The Dalai Lama exclaimed with such an exuberant tone that I could almost picture him showing up at the factory, lunch pail in hand, greeting his co-workers this way.
