Not Happy?



"Those who cross the sea change only the climate, not their character."

Horace
1st century BC Latin poet


And this is true of other things in addition to character.

If you're not happy at work, before you change, make sure your unhappiness is not due to something you control.

If it is, you won't likely be happy somewhere new.

  2. A tiger, no, but what about us humans? How many of us learn from our experiences actually attempting to change for the better?

    This is a topic near and dear to me (I wrote a book on it). I believe most people are motivated to improve but have never thought enough about how to do that.
