Spraying Happiness

 Spraying Happiness

A young housekeeping attendant was cleaning a boardroom, preparing it for a meeting with senior leaders. Before leaving, he sprayed a gentle mist of air freshener around the room.

One senior leader, who was about to chair the meeting, happened to observe the young man from a distance. What caught his attention wasn't just the cleaning—it was the visible passion and joy with which the young man worked.

Curious, the senior leader walked over and asked, "Young man, I've been watching you for quite some time. You work with genuine passion, and happiness seems to radiate from you. What makes you that way?"

The young man smiled and replied, "Sir, if I don't love what I do, I will never be happy doing it. And if I am not happy, my unhappiness will spread to the people around me. Soon, my surroundings would become toxic."

He then added, "When I spray this freshener, I’m not the only one who enjoys the good smell. Everyone who sits in this room will benefit from it. Happiness should be spread like this freshener—so it reaches out and touches everyone."

Moved by the young man’s wisdom, the senior leader stepped closer, gently removed the janitor’s cap from the young man’s head, and said, "Report to Human Resources. We’re changing your role."

Confused, the young man replied, "But sir, I don’t know anything other than cleaning."

The senior leader looked him in the eye and said, "I see something much more in you. Don’t worry—we’ll help you find a role in the HR department, where you can create happiness for others every single day."

Moments later, the senior leader entered the boardroom, picked up a marker, and wrote on the whiteboard:

"Let’s spray some happiness before we begin."

Spreading happiness shouldn’t be a choice—it should be a way of life. Like spraying a freshener, you too enjoy the good fragrance while brightening the world around you.

 

Truly, happier are those who spread happiness

Listen, Understand and Respond

  Listen, Understand and Respond Most of the time, people listen to respond rather than to understand. By the time the other person finishes speaking, the listener is often already formulating a response. Let’s explore what happens in such situations. While listening, we may be trying to engage our logical brain to recall our memories and creativity for a response, or we may be accessing our emotional brain to defend ourselves against what is being said. For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
