Anthony Cerminaro OK – I don’t want to overdo this “fun and happiness theme” but there’s lawyer Anthony Cerminaro blogging about Happiness Breeding Success. Read his post — it captures the gems from the article he referred to in Live Science by the same name. The other quote I liked was:

Scientists reviewed 225 studies involving 275,000 people and found that chronically happy people are in general more successful in their personal and professional lives.

PUNCHLINE: I am not suggesting that having fun and being happy are the exclusive ingredients for a successful firm — in my view they must be accompanied by clear and strong values that are adhered to. I am, however, endorsing the idea that firms do much better if it’s not a drag to work in them. Reflect on this as you formulate your personal 2006 plan as leader of your firm.
