Marriage and jobs need hard work and love

A job, it seems to me, is a lot like a marriage.
People tend not to congratulate you when you trade your new spouse for a newer model.
Yet almost everyone thinks quitting the old job for a new one marks progress of some sort. It shows ambition, imagination, courage and so on.





A lasting job should be seen as a sign of success, just as a lasting marriage is.

I have come up with my own system for knowing if a job is worth hanging on to.
I share my system below:

- The people are nice (most of them)
- The work is often interesting.
- There is the right amount of it - plenty, not too much
- There is the chance to do different things.
- People sometimes say THANK YOU.

That's it!

The reflection on this article leads me to another unfashionable similarity between a job and a marriage.
The secret of success lies in reasonable expectations.

Simple lessons for getting and given the love you deserve!

Let me tell you something, this little book, that has been written 12 years ago, changed my perspective on many things. It helped me to look at life in another way and dealing with people as well.

I personally think every human being alive should read this book at some point in their lives, if they truly want to understand how to acquire and maintain "abundant love" around them. I read it and read it again. I promise you, it is the best spending you will ever invest for the future of your loving relationships. Unfortunately the book is out of print and the only way to read it is to buy an used book.

Basically this is the summary of the secrets of "abundant love":

1 - The Power Of Thought : Choose loving thoughts.

2 - The Power Of Respect : Learn to respect yourself and others.

3 - The Power Of Giving: Focus on what you can give rather than on what you can take.

4 - The Power Of Friendship: To find love, first find a friend.

5 - The Power Of Touch: Hug people. Open your arms and you open your heart.

6 - The Power Of Letting Go: Let go of fears, prejudices and judgements.

7 - The Power Of Communication: Communicate your feelings.

8 - The Power Of Commitment: Be committed- make love your number one priority.

9 - The Power Of Passion: Live with passion.

10 - The Power Of Trust: Trust others, trust yourself and trust life.
