First of all, we have to figure out what happiness is? Happiness is actually a feeling. There are no standards, no indicators, and no inevitable relationship with material conditions. A person with an annual salary of one million may not be happier than a person with an annual salary of 100,000. Bhutan is the poorest country in the world, But it is the country with the highest happiness index in the world.
The son said: "Fresh meals, drink water, flex your arms and pillow, and enjoy it. Unrighteous and rich and noble, like a cloud to me." ( Eat coarse grains, drink water, bend your arms as a pillow There is also fun in this. And the riches and honors gained by doing improper things are like clouds to me.)
The son said again: "a scoop of food, a scoop of drink In the alleys, people can't bear the worries, and don’t change their happiness when they return. Xian Zai return!” ( 颜回 eats a small basket of rice, drinks a scoop of water, and lives in a humble small In the room, other people can't bear this kind of poverty, but he still doesn't change the joy of Taoism. Virtuous, Yan Hui! ), This is the Tao of peace and happiness.
Giving up material pursuits can still achieve happiness and happiness, but only a few saints can do it. For ordinary people, the pursuit of materiality is still the most important means to achieve happiness, but most people will not be able to achieve happiness throughout their lives. To realize the freedom of wealth, you still have to go to work, you still have to do things you don't like, and you still have to look at people's faces.
Without the freedom of wealth, is it impossible to achieve happiness? Are most people destined to be unable to be happy?
Happiness and misfortune often come from comparison. The movie ", please praise me" Fan Wei There is a line: Happiness is that I am hungry and see someone holding a piece of meat in their hands. Bun, then he is happier than me; I was cold and saw others wearing a thick padded jacket,Then he is happier than me; I want to go to the hut, but there is a pit, you are happier than me when you squat there!
People are always envious of the happiness of others. When they look back, they find that they are being envied. You are holding a big steamed bun, envious of the person holding the meat bun, but there may be people behind you who don’t have anything in your hands; you are wearing a single coat, envious of the person wearing a padded jacket, but there may be a naked upper body behind you People; you envy people who have pits, but there may be someone behind you already pulled in the crotch.
If your monthly salary is 20,000 yuan, which is a lot higher than before, you are naturally very happy, but accidentally learned that the girl in the office next door who has only worked for one year is 300 yuan more than you , You instantly feel that the 20,000 yuan in your hand is not fragrant.
For another example, you see those people who started work later than you are promoted, and you think that his abilities are not as good as yours, and his character is not good. You must be full of imbalance and resentment in your heart. Human desires can never be satisfied. If you love to compare, you can never get happiness. Contentment is the secret of happiness.
Being content with Changle can't be self-deception. Some people lie down completely, and then tell everyone that I am very content. This can only be called self-deception. To be content with Changle is to cherish the present, recognize yourself, and do everything within your capacity, but it is not the laziness of being content with the status quo. Through my unremitting efforts, I have reached the current state. Although it is not satisfactory, I do not complain about it, but ask Worthy of heart.
The happiness and unhappiness of an enterprise's employees are nothing more than two aspects, material and spiritual. Can earn money at work and be happy at work?
First is whether you can make money. This is related to the business situation of the company. It is impossible for companies to use all their profits for wages. It is not a panacea. The marginal utility of salary growth is diminishing. For example, if the salary in the previous month was 3000, but it rose to 5000, it would definitely be a sense of happiness.If the previous monthly salary of 10,000 increased to 12,000, the improvement of happiness would not be so strong. If the monthly salary of 100,000 increased to 102,000 yuan, the improvement of happiness would be almost zero.
More important than salary is unhappy at work. The balance between work and life is a key factor in determining employee happiness. Long-term 996, 007, no vacation, come home from get off work and come back to a Geyou lie down, love If I don’t understand, I just quarrel when I go home. The elderly and children in the family are neglected. No matter how high the salary is, I probably won’t be happy or happy.
Whether you are happy or not depends on the sense of meaning in your work. If you are struggling with inspections and doing some retreat in your daily work, you may not feel any sense of meaning.
And doing some pragmatic work, it is easy to feel the meaning. Take the bank as an example, the teller can quickly complete the business and leave the customer satisfied; the customer manager looks at the credit-supported customer and builds a new house. The big shed is built, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and the children who take out student loans have graduated and found a job. The sense of accomplishment and meaning gained in this kind of work cannot be measured by money. The sense of accomplishment brought about by self-realization is An important source of employee happiness.
There is also the need to learn things in the work, always have room for improvement and improvement, there can be no such rigid feeling, never looking at the head Conditions block the possibility of a person's progress.
What is the purpose of the existence of an enterprise? Early management books tell us that it is "maximizing shareholder interests".

The truth is not complicated. "
"Pursuing the material and spiritual happiness of all members of the organization, and at the same time contributing to the human society, I think this concept is simple, but very great. It can be said that this is the most noble idea of all group ideas since mankind has a group. No group concept can surpass it.
