Just Whistle While You Work. It's a Happy Experience.

I have never been happier than when I am at school and work. Well, actually, I have done happier things, but there is no denying that work and school can and should be happy experiences. If you were to consider it, you spend a good portion of your time working and learning, so if you hate your job and your school, you will be a generally unhappy person who lives for just weekends.

There are many ways to be extremely happy at school. School should be one of the happiest times of your life! Sure, there is some work involved, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If you enjoy school, you will do better in school, and there is a great degree of happiness in success. Try to envision school as a sort of game. Set goals for yourself and try to reach them, and happiness will occur when you reach your goals. Try to do as much homework as you can with friends. This makes the dull boring hours of homework a generally happy occasion where you get some work done and hang out with your friends. Many hands make light work, right? Doing assignments with people is a stimulus to get them done well and on time. I remember once doing a group project with one of my best friends where we had to make a joint. (I know what you’re thinking. What kind of school did I go to? You would be relieved to know that it was an elbow joint for anatomy class.) We had a great time overcoming the challenges we faced, figuring out how to do it, finally making it, and then rewarding ourselves with a $5 pizza from Little Caesars. The best part was when we got 91% on our joint. Listen to the teacher, become involved in class, get your work done on time, hang out with your friends, stay organized, and school will be a blast! Take my word for it. If this method doesn’t work, or if it does work, post a comment!

Work can be stressful. Work can be boring. Work can be a drag. You hate your boss. You dread going to work. You'd love to strangle your coworkers. If you said yes to any of the above criteria, GET A BETTER JOB! Why would you willingly put yourself through a miserable life at your job when working has the potential to be a happy experience? There are tons of employment opportunities out there, and if you are happier digging ditches than working in a cubicle to make a little more money, dig those ditches! People who love their jobs are generally happier. Monetary gain should be no substitute for happiness. However, if your job doesn’t fit the previously listed criteria and yet you are still unhappy at your job, you should examine what it is about your job that makes you unhappy. Go to work with a positive attitude. Always have a smile on your face and deal with confrontation from an optimistic perspective. Believe me; happiness catches on like a disease. If people see that you are enjoying yourself, they may take up your example. Be optimistic, have fun with your co workers and treat every day and challenge as an adventure. It is amazing how much your happiness depends on your attitude. If you go to work thinking you’re going to have an awful day, I promise you, you’re going to have an awful day. Have fun, work hard and be happy.
