Happiness and Success

What is happiness? What is success? Tough things to define for everyone. For some success = money. Others is might be time. What does it mean to by happy? Are you happy?

Been readying a lot of articles lately on both of these topics. I reckon being happy and being successful are correlated. Just read this article this morning on being a good designer

Here are the 7 things needed from the above article:

# Work quickly. Produce a lot.

# Attend to details.

# Be versatile.

# Make an effort to learn.

# Anticipate problems.

# Set goals.

# Display a positive attitude.

I’d say that this list is also applicable to anyone that works on a team or in a team environment. I have worked with all sorts of people over the years - and the most important attribute on the above list in my opinion (though all are) - is to Display a positive attitude. There are so many reasons why this is so important. Not having a positive attitude, colors all the other attributes in a negative light and reflects poorly on the team you work with.

Smile. Even if you fake it, a real one often follows shortly thereafter to brighten an attitude and the folks around you. With a positive attitude - the 7 habits above are much easier to integrate.
