People with dirty jobs are happier than you think. As a group, they're the happiest people I know.
Mike RoweI rarely do anything on the show by myself. I dont want it to be about me. Squatting in the sewer in San Francisco, its really hot, were up to our knees in a river of crap. Rats and cockroaches are all over. I would never, ever walk into that environment, except for the fact that the guy who does it every day is squatting next to me.
Mike RoweHappiness comes from knowing what you truly value, and behaving in a way that's consistent with those beliefs.
Mike RoweHappiness does not come from a job. It comes from knowing what you truly value, and behaving in a way thatโs consistent with those beliefs. Many people today resent the suggestion that theyโre in charge of the way they feel.Those people are mistaken. That was a big lesson and I learned it several hundred times before it stuck. What you do, who youโre with, and how you feel about the world around you, is completely up to you.
