The Optimistic Web Designer . . .

Is an optimistic web designer a healthier web designer? Yes! In a 30-year study of over 800 patients by the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, scientists found that optimists had better health and lived significantly longer than others. The researchers also noted that optimists coped better with stress and were less likely to develop depression.

One of the suggestions given for increasing optimism is to find joy in your work. No matter what kind of job it is, find some aspect that’s personally satisfying. Persons who enjoy their work are more productive and derive more satisfaction from it. Personally, I love what I do for a living!
