CHEER UP

 

What gives people most enjoyment, pleasure, and satisfaction

• involvement and absorption in an activity;
• doing whatever it is well;
• freedom over one's actions;
• meeting a challenge;
• problem solving;
• helping others and being useful (whether in direct or indirect ways);
• feeling appreciated;
• companionship;
• sharing problems, jokes and almost anything with others.

 

What cheers people up

• being greeted;
• smiles on the faces of others — friends, colleagues, customers, one's staff, one's bosses;
• absurd events;
• jokes.
