Shawn Achor in TED TALK: The happy secret to better work

-


I encourage everyone to watch this video. The speaker is very funny and the content is very interesting; however, he speaks too fast. Anyway, I am thinking of trying this. I really need to change the way I think. I want to be happy.

Photo from here . “God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us- in the dreariest and most dreaded moments- can see a possibility of hope.” Maya Angelou  Some time ago, I had the pleasure of attending one of Maya Angelou’s talks.
