The happy secret to better work

This is a TED talk about positivity psychology. Shawn Achor starts explain us a story that I'm sure that meany of us has lived it  if we have brothers. After the older brother make something wrong or he hurts the small he always try to fix the situation in their favour, it means that mum and dad will don't know what had happened. Well, this is what he called positive psychology.

Then Shawn Achor show us  graphic where there are some points that are mistakes, they are out f the average and, for this reason, I can delate them, they are ruining my results.  We always tray to just all what we do to the average that it means to the normal level. And if you can't fit in it means that you have a problem or you are depressed (or both). But what Shaw Achor is trying to do with the positivity psychologist is forget the averages and ask ourselves: why there are people who are above of the average intellectual, athletic capacities or any talent? And instead of deleted the unusual person, Achor decide to study it because maybe we can get how to raise the average of the others.

When we look at something, the way we look at the world is what transforms our reality, so it means that if we can change this way to look at the things, we can change the degree of happiness for example. Only the 10% of our happiness comes from the outside world, the 90% of it comes from ourselves and the way we process the outside things. In the same way, only the 25% of the success can be predicted by the outside and the 75% comes from our positivity, enthusiasm and the social support.

In last times, the more common idea of success was: "If I work harder, I will have more success, if I have the success I will be happy". But this is scientifically wrong: when you achieve one objective it change and you have to achieve another better to be happy. If the happiness comes after he success, it will never arrive. It proves that anybody works better when he is happy. If you increase the levels of positivity the brain works better. We have to learn to change the form and start to create a positive ambient to achieve our goals.

I agree with Shaw Achor when he considered that work in a positivity ambient can improve your work and your job is better. But I also think that the fact to achieve a goal doesn't mean that you can achieve the happiness because you want more and more. Without obsessing, I think it's important that when you achieve one of your objectives you go to achieve another one on improving the one you have already got. You have to continue moving all the time. It doesn't mean that you also have to have time to enjoy what you have got and appreciate the effort that has led you to get, but then I think it's ok to try to improve it.
