so I get to know the scientists and what they’re studying. ” Sally thinks she has a great job,and the best part of it is the people.
Third,happy workers know that their work helps others. Caroline Baron’s work helps people who have had to leave their home countries because of war or other | dangers. She is a filmmaker who started an organization called Film Aid,which shows movies in refugee (难民）十 camps around the world. Caroline believes that movies I can be very helpful in these camps. For one thing,
entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a little while. Movies can also teach important subject like health and safety. For example,in one camp,thousands f of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water. Caroline knows that she is helping other people,and this j work makes her feel proud and happy about her work. Tony Hawk,Sally Ayote,and Caroline Baron all get great satisfaction from their work. Tony Hawk says,I “ Find the thing you love. If you are doing what you love,there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous. ” Joanne Gordon would agree.
