QuoteThis is the right attitude to have towards your job:

My first radio job was with the Minnesota News Network in St. Paul. When I was out with friends and they started talking about their work my first thought was always, “I don’t work. I go to MNN.”

When those friends waxed dreamy about what they’d do if they won the lottery, I thought, “I’d still go to MNN.” Back then my title was “intern” and my salary was “nothing.”

But I knew I was headed somewhere fun because I was already having fun. I imagined myself on an airplane, wearing a suit, and sitting next to someone wearing a suit too. “What’s your business?” that person would ask me. I’d flash the biggest smile and say, “Stories.”

    Moti Weisbrot – Lessons on Lifetime Happiness

    Happiness is a religion . Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    First thing in order to be happy is to live the present .Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now !Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    The main problem with looking too frequently into the past is that we may turn around one day and find out the future has run out on us .Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    Don’t let the past or the ” future” steal your present . Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    Remember happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think.Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    Just try your best in order to be happy. Unhappiness starts with wanting to be happier.Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you make for the present .Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    Happiness is not a destination or a ” target” to reach . It is a method of life , to live daily .Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    Happiness is a religion, and should never be rationalized. Remeber it !Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    It is the paradox of life that the way to miss pleasure is to seek it first.Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    The happiness desire is never extinguished in the heart of man.Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    Happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment, but soon flits away.Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    Real deep happiness comes from your own inside. Nobody can give it to you.Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    Happiness is not a matter of events; it depends upon the tides of the mind.Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    To fill and live the minute and the hour and the day , that is happiness.Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales … The state of your Happiness is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind . Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    Enjoy the little things.Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    One day you will look back and realize they were the big things. Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you already have .Moti weisbrot – מוטי ויסברוט

    I wish I could believe that part about the happiness – maybe I’m just burnt out. I’ve just finished 4 years and three jobs with the worst three supervisors anyone could wish for and I’m beginning to wonder if it’s possible to even enjoy going to work anymore. I absolutely hate working for a living at this point and my dream job is to have no job. Everyone says it’s the economy and I sure hope they’re right – in 35 years of working, I’ve never felt this depressed about earning my way. I don’t think happiness has anything to do with an attitude as much as it has to do with the hope that things will get better, because when that hope is gone, everything is gone. Call me very pessimistic about America’s job opportunities right now.
