What makes you unhappy? The academic year just starts and today I had the first lecture of Business Value Management. The lecturer came and it was beautiful woman at the age of 30-35, thin but good looking, with a nice make up and hairstyle. I've noticed that because it's really not common among the lectures and polish women (I don't want to offend someone here, but my 2 years experience of living in Poland show me that theirs main priority is careers and independence and often look is the last thing women care about). But! This woman was very nice looking and perfectly educated as she started to talk about management.

In addition she had very friendly smile and cheerful glance, and seemed just absolutely happy person.

Then during the lecture the whole audience was surprised because the lecturer mentioned that she has been through the liver transplantation because of the cancer. And she had a chemotherapy but nothing helped, so the doctor said that only transplantation might extend her life by 5 years. Then it was a big issue to find a family who would be agree to give the organ of their dead relative. But she was lucky and at the last moment someone called.

So it's been more than 5 years and she's still alive, well educated, professionally successful, good looking.

And that was the moment I asked myself: "What actually makes me unhappy?" I mean what could make you unhappy if you are young and healthy, you have family and friends, everything is going well in your life. And sometimes you feel upset or frustrated for no reason really, some little troubles which happened in the morning can make you feel that way for the rest of the day.

The moral of the lecture: value your business and start value your life, make right priorities, don't let the minor issues change your emotional balance.

What makes you sad?

The academic year just starts and today I had the first lecture of Business Value Management. The lecturer came in and it was a beautiful woman aged about 30-35, thin but good looking, with a nice make-up and coiffure. I noticed that because it's really not common among the lecturers and Polish women (I don't want to offend anyone here, but my 2 years experience of living in Poland has shown me that their main priority is career and independence and often their look is the last thing they care about). But ... this woman was very nice looking and perfectly educated as she started to talk about management.

In addition she had a very friendly smile and cheerful glance, and just seemed an altogether happy person.

Then, during the lecture she dropped a bombshell and mentioned that she had been through a liver transplant because of cancer. And she had had chemotherapy but nothing helped, so the doctor said that only a transplant might extend her life by 5 years. Then it was a big issue to find a family who would agree to give the organ of their dead relative. But she was lucky and at the last moment someone called.

So it's been more than 5 years and she's still alive, well educated, professionally successful, good looking.

And that was the moment I asked myself: "What actually makes us unhappy?" I mean what could make you sad if you were young and healthy, you have family and friends, everything is going well in your life. And sometimes you feel upset or frustrated for no reason really, some trifle that happened that morning can make you sulk for the rest of the day.

The moral of the lecture: value your business and start to value your life, make right priorities, don't let the bagatelles change your equanimity.

Very well written!

What Makes You Unhappy?

The academic year has just started and today I had the first lecture on Business Value Management. The lecturer came in and it turned out to be a beautiful woman of 30-35, thin, but good looking, with a nice make up and hairstyle. I've noticed that because it's really not common among the lecturers or Polish women (I don't want to offend someone here, but my 2 years experience of living in Poland have shown me that their main priorities are careers and independence and often looks is the last thing women care about). But this woman was very nice looking and perfectly educated as she started to talk about management.

In addition, she had a very friendly smile and a cheerful glance, and seemed just like an absolutely happy person.

So stirring story. I wondered about this matter last time. I have family and we are healthy. We have daily problems but each problem we can deal with. I have wasted my time by arguing and compound our relationship. Today I understood that our life is the most important and we should appreciate our health. You indicated me important aspect of our life. Thanks.
