Happiness in the workplace

It makes sense to go to work to serve others, rather than to make money, because according to the great thinkers, happiness is related to virtue and service of others:

According to Aristotle, what is happiness?

⦁ Happiness is the ultimate end and purpose of human existence
⦁ Happiness is not pleasure, nor is it virtue. It is the exercise of virtue.

The great Buddhist master Shantideva said:

“All the suffering in the world comes from wanting happiness for oneself. All the happiness in the world comes from wanting happiness for others.”
