\"sun1.jpg\"“Caring about our work, liking it, even loving it, seems strange when we see work only as a way to make a living. But when we see work as a way to deepen and enrich all of our experience, each one of us can find this caring within our hearts, and awaken it in those around us, using every aspect of our work to learn and grow… Every kind of work can be a pleasure. Even simple household tasks can be an opportunity to exercise and expand our caring, our effectiveness, our responsiveness. <\/p>\n

“As we respond with caring and vision to all work, we develop our capacity to resond fully to all of life. Every action generates positive energy that can be shared with others. These qualities of caring and responsiveness are the greatest gift we can offer.”  <\/p>\n

– Tarthang Tulku, from “Happiness at Work: Be Resilient, Mtivated, and Successful, No Matter What” by Srikumar Rao, Ph.D. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
