Thought to share....

"Happiness is very personal"

This is a true story. Some years ago the following exchange was broadcast on an Open University sociology TV program.

An interviewer was talking to production-line worker in a biscuit factory. The dialogue went like this:

Interviewer: How long have you worked here?

Production Lady: Since I left school - about 15 years

Interviewer: What do you do?

Production Lady: I take packets of biscuits off the conveyor belt and put them into cardboard boxes.

Interviewer: Have you always done the same job?

Production Lady: Yes.

Interviewer: Do you enjoy it?

Production Lady: Oooh Yes, it's great, everyone is so nice and friendly, we have a good laugh.

Interviewer (with a hint of disbelief): Really? Don't you find it a bit boring?

Production Lady: Oh no, sometimes they change the biscuits...

Moral - Don't assume that what motivates you is what motivate others. It is also important to recognize that sources of happiness may vary widely between people.

The thing which M should read...........:-]
