Right attitude is a great power (story):

😒A Businessman was deep in debt and could not see any way  out. 😒Creditors and Suppliers were demanding payments. He sat in the park, deep in thought, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy. 👍Suddenly an old man appeared before him and asked, "I can see that something is troubling you seriously". 👍After listening patiently the old man said, "I believe I can help you". 👍👍👍He asked the man his name, wrote out a cheque and put it into his hands saying, 👍"Take this money, meet me here exactly one year from today... and you can pay me back at that time". 👍Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come. 👌👌👌The businessman saw in his hands a cheque for $ 500,000... signed by Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world. 👍"I can erase my worries instantly...

Why people at big companies are happy:

- Lets refresh our memories   - employees are emotional creatures. Events from personal life affect professional life and vice versa.  - Healthy work-life balance means different things to different people. Top companies realize there is no one-size-fits-all approach – they don’t tell employees HOW to achieve work-life balance. - As long as employees feel they are a part of something that is bigger than themselves, they remain engaged. Merge this with the freedom to design professional career path and the well-planned learning opportunities to succeed on those paths. Click to read full article from LinkedIn:

Achievers operate differently. They have an eye for the essential:

 - *"NOT EVERYTHING MATTERS EQUALLY"* "It's not enough to be busy, so are the ants."  ~ Henry David Thoreau.  The question is, what are we busy about? Knocking out a hundred tasks for whatever the reason is a poor substitute for doing even one task that is meaningful.  Not everything matters equally, and success is not a game won by whoever does the most. Yet that is exactly how most play it on a daily basis.  "The things which are most important does not always scream the loudest" ~ Bob Hawke Achievers operate differently. They have an eye for the essential. They pause just long enough to decide what matters and then allow what matters to drive their day.  Achievers do Sooner what others plan to do later and defer, perhaps indefinitely, what others do Sooner. The different is not in intent, but in a right of way. Achievers always work from a sense of priority. Source: received through whatsapp
