Conquer your happiness

“The news at the moment is to work and create happy companies. Companies that value their contributors are ethical, social and environmentally friendly, know how to attract and keep talents.”

The statement uttered above comes from the lecturer Paulo Araújo and it was taken from the article “Conquer your happiness”, that the author sent exclusively to Top Team. According to Araújo, “the best thing of the world is to be happy with yourself and with your work. Finding something that really pleases you will make you even more productive.”

Araújo will now give some tips to help you, Top Team reader, find and practice happiness:

Pleasure. How Nice it is to eat something tasteful, make love to someone you love, buy the product of your dreams. Even a nice chat or a simple gift. Pleasure brings us the sensation of happiness. However, even if it is not complete or long lasting, it is essential in anyone´s life. Pleasure is one of the components that make us happy; it is the easiest way of being happy, although it is not enough for life as a whole.

Commitment. It means how much committed we are to ourselves. Commit yourself to life, dreams, values and goals. Commitment brings us a higher degree of happiness as it leads to self-respect and self-confidence. Don´t let things go. Nothing happens by chance. Participate in your life actively.

Meanig. That´s where complete happiness lies. Being happy does not mean being glad and smily all the time.  It means discovering and investing in your life goal. It means to ask not only “Why?” but also “What for?”. When we discover our real life goal we have a clear idea of what, how and where to do it. It comes as we become mature and it is also linked to religious aspects. However, it is always good to try to find a meaning for your life.
