"Find a job you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." Do you agree with this old saying? Joanne Gordon does. She is the author of Be Happy at work and other books about careers . Gordon believes that about 30% of employees in North America do not like their jobs, and she thinks that is terrible. She wants to help people who do not feel satisfied with their jobs find work that is good for them. Joanne says, "There are no happy jobs, only happy workers." She believes that happy workers share three main characteristics. 

First, happy workers enjoy the daily activities of their jobs, and they look forward to the workday. Take Tony Hawk, for example. At age 14, he became a professional skateboarder. Now he is a businessman working on projects related to skateboarding--films and video games, but he still skates every day. He once said, "My youngest son's pre-school was recently asked what their dads do for work. My son said, 'I've never seen my dad do work.'" Tony agrees that his job doesn't look like work. He has found a way to spend each day doing a job he enjoys. 

Second, happy workers like the people they work with. Sally Ayote says, "I work with the coolest people in the world." She and her group cook for almost 1,200 people in Antarctica. Most of these people are scientists who are doing research. Sally loves to sit and talk with them. She says, "There is no television here, no radio, so I get to know the scientists and what they're studying." Sally thinks she has a great job, and the best part about it is the people. 

Third, happy workers know that their work helps others. Caroline Baron's work helps people who have had to leave their home countries because of war or other dangers. She is a filmmaker who started an organization called FilmAid, which shows movies in refugee camps around the world. Caroline believes that movies can be very helpful in these camps. For one thing, entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a little while. Movies can also teach important subjects like health and safety. For example, in one camp, thousands of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water. Caroline knows that is helping other people, and this makes her feel proud and happy about her work. 

Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron all get great satisfaction from their work. Tony Hawk says, "Find the thing you love. If you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous." Joanne Gordon would agree. She encourages people to find something they enjoy doing, find people they like to work with, and find ways to help others. Then they can be proud of what they do, and they will probably be happy at work.

"Hitta ett jobb du älskar, och du kommer aldrig att jobba en dag i ditt liv." Håller du med om det här gamla ordspråket? Joanne Gordon gör det. Hon är författare till Be Happy at work och andra böcker om karriärer. Gordon anser att cirka 30 procent av de anställda i Nordamerika inte gillar sina jobb, och hon tycker att det är fruktansvärt. Hon vill hjälpa människor som inte känner sig nöjda med sina jobb att hitta arbete som är bra för dem. Joanne säger: "Det finns inga lyckliga jobb, bara glada arbetare." Hon menar att glada arbetare delar tre huvuddrag. För det första gläder sig arbetarna åt den dagliga verksamheten i sina arbeten, och de ser fram emot arbetsdagen. Ta Tony Hawk, till exempel. Vid 14 års ålder blev han professionell skateboardåkare. Nu är han en affärsman som arbetar med projekt relaterade till skateboard – filmer och TV-spel, men han åker fortfarande skridskor varje dag. Han sa en gång: "Min yngste sons förskola fick nyligen frågan vad deras pappor gör för arbete. Min son sa: "Jag har aldrig sett pappa jobba." Tony håller med om att hans jobb inte ser ut som jobb. Han har hittat ett sätt att tillbringa varje dag med att göra ett arbete som han tycker om. För det andra, glada arbetare som de människor de arbetar med. Sally Ayote säger: "Jag jobbar med världens coolaste människor." Hon och hennes grupp lagar mat åt nästan 1 200 personer i Antarktis. De flesta av dessa människor är forskare som forskar. Sally älskar att sitta och prata med dem. Hon säger: "Det finns ingen TV här, ingen radio, så jag lär känna forskarna och vad de studerar." Sally tycker att hon har ett bra jobb, och det bästa med det är människorna. För det tredje vet glada arbetare att deras arbete hjälper andra. Caroline Barons arbete hjälper människor som tvingats lämna sina hemländer på grund av krig eller andra faror. Hon är en filmskapare som startade en organisation vid namn FilmAid, som visar filmer i flyktingläger runt om i världen. Caroline menar att filmer kan vara till stor hjälp i dessa läger. En sak är att underhållande filmer låter flyktingar glömma sina bekymmer en liten stund. Filmer kan också lära ut viktiga ämnen som hälsa och säkerhet. I ett läger såg tusentals flyktingar till exempel en film om hur man kan få rent vatten. Caroline vet att det hjälper andra människor, och det gör att hon känner sig stolt och glad över sitt arbete. Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote och Caroline Baron får alla stor tillfredsställelse av sitt arbete. Tony Hawk säger: "Hitta det du älskar. Om du gör det du älskar, finns det mycket mer lycka där än att vara rik eller berömd." Joanne Gordon skulle hålla med. Hon uppmuntrar människor att hitta något de tycker om att göra, hitta människor de tycker om att arbeta med och hitta sätt att hjälpa andra. Då kan de vara stolta över vad de gör, och de kommer förmodligen att vara lyckliga på jobbet. Vilka är svaren på följande frågor: 1. Vem vill Gordon hjälpa? 2. Hur skulle hon vilja göra det? 3. Finns det "Hälsa jobb"? 4. Tycker hälften av arbetarna på kontinenten ens om sina jobb? 5. Hur många gör det? 6. Om det inte finns några lyckliga jobb, vad finns det då, enligt Gordon?
