"I've enjoyed my time the most when I work with smart, interesting people who are passionate about their work. Even if we were facing a challenging project and looming deadlines, things were tolerable (and, sometimes, even enjoyable!) purely because I was surrounded by talented, funny people who were invested in our work and our team. I've also had perfectly fine jobs where I was miserable because the management was unhappy and the level of camaraderie was low. Which all goes to show that professional happiness matters. It matters to you and it matters — big time — to the people you come in contact with every day — coworkers, management, clients, vendors, strangers on the other end of the phone. When you're happy at work it shows, and people enjoy interacting with you" Jacky Carter
