What Joy Means To You
Joy can mean several things to several people. It's important to find where your's lies. If you have already found your cup of tea and finding it quite tiresome off-late, there's nothing to worry about. Everyone finds their work getting monotonous over a period of time. Just think of all the reasons why you took it up in the first place.

Have Your Social Circle
Work is fun when you know the people around you. Even if they don't solve your problems, you'll find solace in the fact that even they aren't having a cake-walk. Friends at work are a boon and you'll actually look forward to the next day at work, at least to meet them.

Always Lend A Helping Hand
We know what you're thinking. 'How am I supposed to help someone else when I'm battling my own demons?'. We understand! But there's no better way to boost your spirits than lending a helping hand to one of your colleagues. Remember how Batman was fighting his own demons but still helped those in difficulty and ended up solving some of his own problems.

Ask What You Don't Know
It's easy to get carried away at work. At times fear and ego get the better of us. Even if we don't know something, we don't ask. Instead we just hide it or pretend to know it. That is just wrong and causes you to nag or complain later on. Only you know what problems you are facing. You need to speak up if you want a change.

Remain Positive
Did you know if you smile your way through most of your work day, you actually feel happier? There are studies which show exactly that. It is easy to feel jealous of a friend who has this cool new job but always remember that the grass always seems greener on the other side. Instead remain positive and work your way out of the obstacles.
