“It is not in doing what you like, but in liking what you do that is the secret of happiness.”James Barrie
Peter Pan is a tale about a free spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up: but unlike that tale, eventually we all do grow up. In life, just like in that story, there comes a time when all children learn about the responsibilities associated with being grown – and one of those has to do with finding what you love to do and being proud of it. Grown-ups at work often participate in employee surveys, and these often find that they like what they do and are proud of where they work. Some may not like one or more things about their jobs, but most are proud of their efforts and those they work with and for. You can help make that true by being humble, listening, giving straight answers, keeping promises, acting fairly, and treating people the way you want to be treated. Be the responsible and thoughtful kind of grown-up that you and others can be proud of today.
Sir James Matthew Barrie (1860 – 1937): Scottish novelist and playwright, best remembered today as the creator of Peter Pan.
