‘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.
