I agree with the idea that having a higher income won't lead to more happiness. I think it's something we have all heard but is still very easy for people to forget. I think there are a lot of people who could be in a job that they hated and be okay with that solely because they are making a lot of money with it, but I am not one of those people and I think that a lot of people are under the impression that money will make them happy but it seems like that feeling never ends and people will always want more so you won't truly be happy until you are pursuing things that you are passionate about and putting value on things like relationships and non-material items.

After reading the blog, I was really interested in the part about accepting feedback and a growth mindset because I am someone who sometimes has an issue with receiving feedback and I like that they gave examples of questions to ask yourself about the feedback you are receiving and the way that you are taking it could be a result of a few different factors and so I found the points they made and the questions they provided very helpful

# data[].attributes.body
I feel my work view is being able to help others and have a positive impact on society and my life view is sticking to my beliefs and morals. I think these both go pretty well together considering that a lot of my morals go along with helping others.

I agree with what the professor said, we need to consider the feasibility of this thing and how much effort we need to make to complete it when doing many things. I really like this realistic point of view, which helps me avoid the mistake of pursuing too much in my future career.

I don't know if I can fit in well with my current position. When I was in school, I could get along well with others, but people in the society were so complicated that I found it difficult. I hope that when I treat others sincerely and simply communicate with them, they can also communicate with me simply, not so complicated.

I think it is the happiness I get after helping others. Every time I see others' happy smile, I feel very satisfied. Of course, the reward is also my motivation. I have a good grasp of when I am happy to help others for free and when I am serious about working for money. So, the pleasure of helping others for free and being rewarded for my efforts is what drives me.

# data[].attributes.body
My view of work is to create wealth and meaning. I want to be a teacher in the future and help students to achieve success in the future. Realistically speaking, creating wealth is also an important point of view for me. My outlook on life is mainly to stay positive.

A point the professor brought up was the study of how the happiness in 2005 compared to the 1940s is lower even though we have much more advanced technologies such as indoor plumbing. I think she was trying to make a point that the advancements did not make us happier and I agree with this. I think that these things have just become basic needs and so we are used to them and technology is also advancing so fast that we are not phased by much anymore. I think she should have also mentioned the time period as a factor, though. In the 1940s, people were happy to just have their loved ones come home from war safe and to be working at the same place for their entire career in the same place they were born. Today, there are so many more opportunities out there for career and life and it puts a kind of pressure on people to be successful at their careers or to be the best at something else. It can be overwhelming and the freedom should be treasured since it is not available to everyone, but this can cause stress and anxiety, leading to a lower happiness level.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I did not think of when starting a new job is to introduce myself to the office. In the past, the office has generally introduced themselves to me when during my first few days and from there it would take me a few tries to remember everyone's names. In the past, these jobs have been administrative which this seems essential for but also shift based which made it harder to meet everyone at work. I feel like if I had thought of introducing myself or chatting with people in the office more during my first few days, I would have remembered names faster and known the general preferences of people in the office of correspondence, conflicts, etc.

A motivating factor for me is the ability to work towards making a difference in the field I care about and the fact that the field I choose can be as long or as short as I make it and there are not hard deadlines for figuring out specifically what I want to do in the field.

# data[].attributes.headline
My work view is that work should contribute to society in a positive manner and should be satisfying in some way, whether through economical means or otherwise. My lifeview is that life is for living to the fullest and seeking out adventure. Obviously, these clash in many ways and I foresee my work view overtaking my life view, as it already has been doing so. I assume my commitment to my work view will help push me to experience new and amazing things like my life view says to do and I hope I get better at focusing on my life view in the future.

I agree that money does not necessarily equal more happiness. I want to be a civil rights advocate or a lawyer for the ACLU, which financially make less than say a corporate lawyer or patent lawyer. However, even if I was making more money, I would hate my job and work life doing those two things.

# data[].attributes.body
I think communication etiquette is important to me and that I will use it often in the workplace. A large part of legal work is writing documents and researching, so it will be important to communicate in a way that everyone can understand what you are talking about and what you hope to achieve. I also think it is important for everyone to respond promptly to emails.

# data[].attributes.body
A career motivating factor for me is benefits along with the ability to grow within the company. I think I would like to work for the federal government because of the strong benefits/retirement plan along with moving up grades throughout your career.

# data[].attributes.body
I plan for my work and live view to complement each other because I enjoy advocating for others in my personal life through different community groups and campaigns, and in my professional life I want to be a civil rights lawyer fighting for the rights of others in court, so I will be pursing my life passion in a work way.

# data[].attributes.body
I like to know my tasks for the week and I often write them down and cross them off as I go. I also like to plan out when I am going to work on everything so I know I can get everything done by the deadline.

I agree that money doesn't have that much impact on satisfaction because you should find happiness in other things, but I also know that things tend to be a lot easier for me and I am less stressed when I have more money.

# data[].attributes.body
In the past I have written down directions and instructions during orientation or training so that I know what I am doing and can learn faster. I think it is a great way to go back and remember what to do if I am stuck.

Another motivating factor for me would be a structured schedule so that I know when I can plan other things going on in my life.

# data[].attributes.body
My work view and life view compliment each other in the way that I enjoy helping people in my personal life and I hope to impact people by the job I choose. My religion also impacts my personal life because I believe that we should help the needy and charity in which I would be doing in my job as a counselor or psychiatrist.

# data[].attributes.body
A career motivating factor for me would be benefits. I would want to make sure that my future family and I have good health insurance and 401k so that I can take care of them.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
I completely agree that higher income does not lead to higher levels of emotional well being but it does lead to a slightly higher level of life evaluations. I think as a society people equate higher incomes with success and higher quality of life. People think that a higher income means less problems with life so you're happier. That is why it makes sense to me that people would place themselves higher on the ladder because they equate life satisfaction with professional success. I found it interesting that the emotional-well being ratings leveled out at $75,000.

# data[].attributes.body
One important career motivating factor for me would be benefits. One of the biggest for me is a healthy work life balance. Compensation is another factor but it isn't a huge one. As long as I make enough to live comfortably and prepare for my future.

# data[].attributes.body
One way that I apply both time autonomy and stability is by using a planner. I like to go through and write down any important due dates, meetings or other obligations for the week and then plan everything else around those. After that, I'll make a to do list the night before or in the morning of things important for that day and then attempt to block times out to accomplish them.

# data[].attributes.body
I found this comparison insightful. I appreciate the separation of life view and work view because for me they used to be very difficult to separate. I think that working in general is a means to make money and support yourself. I want my work to allow me to have life I want to have. Within that I want what I do to have a positive impact on both myself  and society, provide opportunities for personal and professional growth.  When it comes to my life view, I am still figuring out a lot of those questions but I like to think that the purpose of life is to find happiness, develop meaningful relationships and have a positive influence on those around you.

I think the work rules and expectations section was filled with great advice. I am a big fan of taking notes and have actually given people the same advice while training them. I also think it great advice to get the other expectations clarified such as dress code, cell phones, and the work hour policies. That way it eliminates any potential confusion about what is expected during your work week. The section on work hours and break policies is important because you want to make sure you understand the expectations of how you should be spending your time on the clock. Communication etiquette is also a huge one. I especially like clarifying if they would prefer an email, a phone call or stopping by to answer quick questions. It is also really important to understand how your team likes to communicate so you don't unintentionally offend someone.

I agree with the professor’s interest in the flip of percentages of people that think being financially well off is important vs. developing a meaningful philosophy in life. Today, most people think being financially well off is very important whereas in 1967, not many people thought that was important. This is frustrating, because I think it is harder to become financially well off today than it was in 1967. The cost of living keeps going up at a faster rate the average wage, so it’s very difficult to keep up.

# data[].attributes.body
I think getting to know personal work habits of your coworkers or bosses is something that is very important that I might not have thought of. The example in the blog mentions not approaching someone until they’ve had their morning coffee. While this seems kind of silly, it can be very important to some people and you don’t want to come off as an inconvenient to somebody.

I think compensation and benefits are both pretty motivating factors for me in my career. Our world is so motivated by money and it necessary to me to have a stable income. I would like to have enough money to be comfortable supporting a family with kids.

I think the main reason for working is to earn money. If you can find something you enjoy, even better. But the reality is most people aren’t super thrilled with their day job. They do it to earn money and provide a living for themselves and/or their family. I think the purpose of life is just to enjoy your time here. I feel like my two views definitely clash a little bit. I wish we didn’t have to work and we could just live our lives freely but unfortunately, that’s not how our society works.

One point I agree with would be that more money does not lead to more happiness. I think there are so many people who are making a lot of money that are not necessarily happy. You can wake up everyday and either hate what you do and dread going, but still make a lot of money. I do not know if I would want to hate what I do, just to know I am making more than someone who is in a lower paying job but could be happy and love going.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I realized from the blog that I want to focus on more is making sure if I need to communicate with my boss whether it is more important for the situation to be in person or over a text/email. I think knowing the difference of when to use one or the other is important.

1 thing I disagree with is that money is a big factor for everybody. I personally am not planning on making a ton of money in my profession, but that does not matter to me personally. I know that I can get by without a 6 figure income. Something that I agree with is that the correlation between life satisfaction and money making is very weak. People may think that making a lot of money will make their lives better, but it just makes them easier.

one thought that I had fro the 1st 15 days blog is about the expectations of your work day. I know that in my jobs it has always been good to know what the general expectations are so that I can meet them daily and go above and beyond when I feel it is appropriate to.

A career motivating factor for me would be whether what I am doing is truly helping people. In the career that I want, I know that I will be helping people to feel better and let out their own creative sides. If I believe that I am making a difference in people's lives then I will be satisfied.

My work view and life view are fairly similar. My work view is to help make a difference in the lives of the people I work with and my life view is to make sure I am happy and fulfilled.

my coworkers at the place where I work right now have nicknamed me the “energizer bunny” because I am always moving and doing something. I do not like having nothing to do.

Writing down my “daily challenges’ helps me organize and get everything done.

Something that I agree with from the professors lecture is about "live options". It is important to be realistic about your future and the goals you can achieve. Sometimes I think about going on a completely different career path but then I think about what I am studying now. My current "live options" would be a psychology internship, and not applying to be a psychologist because I have not yet completed the schooling required so it is not a "live option".

# data[].attributes.body
A thought I had about the 1st 15 days blog that I will use in the workplace is about communication. I am not the best at communicating with others and sometimes end up foregoing communication altogether. The communication etiquette is very helpful because it gives me guidelines on how to communicate effectively. Some of these questions help take the stress out of communication, like knowing if they prefer phone calls or email.

It's funny that this was in the lecture because it's also something I mentioned in a previous post - money does not equal happiness. I have thought that from such a young age. My dad always tried to discourage me from going into psychology because he was convinced I wouldn't make any money. My response to that always has been and always will be, I would rather make less money doing something I love than making more to do something I hate. If I spend every day doing something I don't love, I would ultimately be miserable. I love that point and I will always stick by it.

The biggest realization I had from the blog was reading the piece about accepting feedback. I am a very emotional person and can sometimes get too attached to things or take things too personally. But I know that will be important for me to accept compliments as well as criticisms, so that I can in turn help other people too.

# data[].attributes.body
Another career motivating factor for me is a flexible schedule. I hope to have my own practice so that I am able to be attentive to my future family.

I just mentioned this in my last post, but I my life view has been to be there for people and help make sure they don't have to feel the same ways I have felt. That actually drove my work view and helped me decide my career path.

This is my planner.. yes, my classes are indeed color coated. I think this says all it needs to say about my schedule autonomy. I am a very busy person, so being able to have flexibility in the things I do is really important to me. I was surprised about the benefits being at a top value for me, I do think money is important, but if you love what you do, then I don't see that it's important. So, I honestly don't have much of an explanation for that one.

One point from the lecture that I agree with is the point about more money does not mean more happiness. I see that other classmates disagree with that and I understand where they are coming from but I believe that joy and happiness in life is a choice and not a product of the way you live or what you have. I believe you have to wake up daily and chose joy for your life. This means that no matter the situation you are in, that you can try to find joy within in.

I really enjoy the part of the blog article when it talks about receiving feedback. I struggle with receiving constructive criticism and I know how important that is to be successful in your career.

In my previous job last semester, I found out through observation that certain actions were perfectly acceptable to the management in the building that I previously thought might be unacceptable behavior. Observation taught me that it was perfectly okay to go get coffee or use the vending machines in the breakroom during working hours. Watching others also taught me that it was okay to answer a text during working hours if you were quick about it and did not do it too often. Honestly, I think the best message in the blog post is simply to observe what is acceptable at a new job and what is not because there are many activities that are not covered in a handbook.

I disagree with the claim that happiness does not actually increase after the $75,000 mark. This is because I have personally met many people who make $150,000+ each year and are able to be retired at the age of 25 or 30. They have an incredible amount of personal freedom in their lives, and they live absolutely incredible and fulfilling lives while being financially free. I believe this claim would only apply to people that have to work typical jobs and do not build their own business to the level of financial and personal freedom.

Under the additional email tips include section, the 3rd point really sparks my interest. Do professors or other employers really get mad if you email them with a question then they email you back, but you don’t email them again and say, “thank you”?

One point that I disagree with is that there is no correlation tied to weather nations about if income really makes you live a happier life or not. I believe the professor states that she doesn’t believe that having a lot of money will make it happy, which I think is the complete opposite. Money does make people happy now a days and yeah we all realize that back in the 60’s money didn’t matter to people because it was during a different time than now. I didn’t like how she basically asked that question to the audience because that question was very obvious. Disagree overall.
