Dear Taichung Happiers,

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a “great” writer. When asked to define “great” he said “I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation, and anger!”………………….He now works for Microsoft writing error messages.

Try this riddle (in Chinese): “What is the only type of drinkable water?” Perhaps, people would feel better, if the Food Safety Administrator could be Aristotle. However, does your boss prefer a robot to read your job description? Ladies and gentlemen, sisters and brothers, Queena will perform her first hosting this weekend. Welcome to join us in counting disappearing jobs.

When you work for more than the paycheck—especially, when you help people make positive changes—technology advances can’t steal your job. For example, having remade these kids to hear the words and have faith, this teacher’s love is so irreplaceable! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuJxL6tLxm4 Besides, echoing poet George Garrett’s metaphor of kite-flyers that the world doesn’t demand a lot, poet Luke Johnson gave a highly explicit reason that we need poems and poets. “Whether the world demands kite-flyers or not, they will always be there to contextualize the wind, to give dimension to the clouds, and to risk losing their fragile kites to a careless sky for nothing more than the sheer joy of watching it happen.” http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2011/04/21/im-a-poet-yes-thats-a-real-job/

What will happen when you place persistence before perfectionism? Management Expert Peter F. Drucker asserted “It is the willingness of people to give of themselves over and above the demands of the job that distinguishes the great from the merely adequate.” Sometimes, not knowing what is perfect is a perfect advantage giving you the freedom to press on. When you are showered with sweat, laughter, and tears during the journey, no technology advances can be bigger than you. Here is a documentary bearing testament to the power of persistence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heWRagwzVPo

Technology advances can change not only the relationship between companies and employees, but also corporations’ social responsibility. For personal career and organizational sustainability, creativity is the only tool to leverage your strengths and opportunities. So, how to take the first step? Speaker and entrepreneur Alexander Lushnikov affirmed that creativity, which can be nurtured, will revolutionize the 21st century; he also encouraged us to start creativity with love--to infect with the love you have for your people to the rest of the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9aaiuN4lsQ Moreover, I firmly believe the commitment to what is the most important to you is your Muse of inspiration and creativity.

From “The Job of An Apple” (by Ronna Bloom)

The job of an apple is to be
handed over in orchards, to be wanted
and forbidden. The job of an apple is to be Golden
Delicious, Granny Smith and crab. The job
of an apple is to be imported, banned and confiscated
going through customs from Montreal to New York. …….………………….
To be carried around for days. To change
hands, to change hands, to change hands.
The job of an apple is to be a different poem in the mouth
of every eater. The job of an apple is to be juice.

My dream is to be a full-time dreamer. What is yours? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL2QOuEQfy4 American author George Crane offered the enduring insight “There is no future in any job. The future lies in the man who holds the job.” Fortunately, happy employees produce more consistently high-performing workforce than unhappy ones over the long term, according to the research result. https://hbr.org/2012/01/creating-sustainable-performance Then, what are you waiting for? Show us how long you will love what you do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an4ySOlsUMY Join us. Thanks!!!





With Gratitude,
Jasmine
