Enjoying in work are interesting and attracting. It makes me feel so curious to know about their secrets. What I learned about the secret of happiness in work is so unique. When I read the article about the experiences by Tiffany G, Brian F, Chris M, and Diego C, it is proved that every work must have a factor to be happy in any works that we are in. I like to describe a story about Brian F. He said that, “I have the best job in the world, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. I’m an archaeologist, a discoverer of people and places from the past. As a child, I was crazy about ancient people such as the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Mayas, Aztecs, and Incas. In college, I majored in archeology. I have a great love for things from the distant past, from hundreds or thousands of years ago. Sometimes I find a piece of jewelry such as a ring or part of a necklace. I stand there with it in my hand, and I think, “I am the first person to hold this in three thousand years. Sometimes I discover broken pieces of an ancient bowl. I carefully clean them and put the bowl back together. It’s like a puzzle. I focus on it so hard that I forget everything else. I’m not aware of time and I have no idea of the hour. I look up at the clock, and it is five hours later. It seemed like only minutes. Every day, I’m thankful for my work. It’s more than my profession. It’s my life.” From his stories and experiences above, passion in one job is vital and it plays a vast role for the factor of love in job. In my opinion, Plus, we have the passion to continue in doing what we love most in our lives. For example, if a person I learned that the secret of happiness in work discovers our talent, passion, and strength. Everyone has their own talents. For example singing, sewing, baking or maybe dancing. So, we have to use our granted talents wisely. It’s good to know about our own talent so that we can enjoy our lives beneficially is into medicine, the career as a doctor will perfectly suits him or her. Passion also plays the main factor in order to gain happiness in work. We can look into Brian F’s story, he is very passionate in his profession, so it is not uncanny if he enjoys his job. Besides, strength also plays a factor in order to achieve happiness in jobs. Strength is important in the world of social intelligence, kindness, honesty, self-control and the ability to work in a group. According to Martin E.P Seligman, it’s especially important to know our strength. Everyone has certain strengths. We can choose to use them or not just like the talents that we have. How are they different from talents? In Authentic Happiness, Seligman explains that strengths are moral characteristic, it is the abilities to know what is right and what is wrong and to choose right. We can all build on our strengths, and we can all acquire new ones. In a nutshell, passion, talents and strength are a great combination in order to feel the happiness in work.
