‘People can be very happy if they love their work,’ A
national anthem celebrates nationhood, the blood, sweat and tears of creating a
country. It aims to transcend logic and unleash the tigers of passion. The
Americans stand there, hand on heart, before their flag and sing the Stars and
Stripes. It creates a wave of national pride and primes people for leadership.
The Japanese use this same force to create love for the company they work in.
Vivekananda carried the message of India to the world with his matchless talk
which starts, “Arise, Awake, stop not till the goal is reached”!
When you
infuse a sense of pride and joy in what you do, it becomes a joyful experience,
instead of a chore. To work at something you love, to be “self-actualised”, in
Maslow’s terms, is to protect yourself against dying young.
