Philosophy for a Happy Life

Let’s set aside the discussion of mergers and acquisitions, and of downsizing. They, of course, are important, but so is the stamina to finish this course, and finish it Trident strong.
By wrapping up your MGT491 Capstone in HRM course, this means that many of you are set to finish your BSHRM! There is only one module to go. Is your can-do attitude a little zapped? Need a boost? Listen to Sam Berns sharing his philosophy for a happy life. (This speech took place three months before his death.)
TEDx Talks. (2013, December 13). My philosophy for a happy life: Sam Berns[Video]. YouTube. https://youtu.be/36m1o-tM05g
Using this information as a springboard, think about the world of work and your own philosophy for a happy work life.
Additional Key Elements of the Assignment
First Post:
Please respond with at least 250 words to the following questions (there is a word counter in the text box):
Most of us spend more time at work than we do at home, so it is important our job makes us happy.
1. What is your current work life like?
2. What do you need to do personally so that your work life is a happy life?
3. As an HR professional in a workplace, what philosophical words of wisdom do you share with your employees?
