   act as if we are happy 假装快乐工作

There are four stenographers in my office, and each of us is assigned to take letters from several men. One day, when I was asked to do a long letter over, I started to rebel. I tried to point out the man that the letter could be corrected without being retyped, and he retorted 1 that if I didn't do it over, he would find someone who would. I was absolutely fury 2. As I retyped the letter, it suddenly occurred to me that there were a lot of other people who love to do the work I was doing, also, that I was being paid a salary to do just that work, I began to feel better. I made up my mind to do my work as if I actually enjoyed it.

Discovery: If I do my work as if I really enjoyed it, then I do. And also found that I can work faster when I enjoyed my work. Now, I seldom need to work overtime 3. I soon gain a reputation of being a good worker. And when one of the department super intendance needed a private secretary, he asked for me for the job. This matter of the power of changing mental attitude has been a tremendously important discovery to you. It has worked wonders.
