Describe what you find most helpful in the article Six Ways to Stop Worrying and Find Work You Love, https://www.yesmagazine.org/happiness/six-ways-to-stop-worrying-and-find-work-you-love.

Numbers 4 and 5 were my favorites and they rsonated with me. See below for what they said.

4. Find where your values and talents meet

The wisest single piece of career advice was proffered 2,500 years ago when Aristotle declared, “Where the needs of the world and your talents cross, there lies your vocation.” And he would surely endorse contemporary research findings showing that those pursuing money and status are unlikely to feel fulfilled: the Mercer Global Engagement Scale places “base pay” as only number seven out of 12 factors predicting job satisfaction.

The best alternative, says Harvard’s Howard Gardner, is to find an ethical career, focused on values and issues that matter to you, and which also allows you to do what you’re really good at. That might sound like a luxury when there are long lines at job centers. But consider that in the 34 countries of the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, the social enterprise sector, in which organizations strive not only to make profits but also to improve social and environmental conditions,is growing 250 percent faster than the rest of the economy.

5. Act first, reflect later

The biggest mistake people make when changing careers is to follow the traditional “plan then implement” model. You draw up lists of personal strengths, weaknesses, and ambitions, then match your profile to particular professions; at that point you start sending out applications. But there’s a problem: it typically doesn’t work. You might find a new job, but despite your expectations, it is unlikely to be fulfilling.

Ask successful career changers how to overcome the fear and most say that in the end you have to stop thinking and just do it.

We need to turn this model on its head. As I explain in this video, instead of thinking then acting, we should act first and reflect later by trying out jobs in the real world, for example by shadowing, interning, or volunteering, testing out careers through experiential learning. Laura van Bouchout gave herself the thirtieth birthday present of spending a whole year trying thirty different jobs—a kind of “radical sabbatical.” She was manager of a cat hotel, then shadowed an Member of the European Parliament, and found that working in advertising was unexpectedly exhilarating.

But don’t think that you have to resign on Monday morning to try this. Rather, you can pursue “branching projects”—what organisational behaviour expert Herminia Ibarra calls “temporary assignments”—on the side of your existing job. Disenchanted with banking? Then try teaching yoga or doing freelance web design on the weekends. Such small experiments can give you the courage to make big—and well-informed—changes.

Exercise 4.1 Suppose that landowners have the power to restrict , the distance to the edge of the city, in order to increase the land rent they earn. Suppose that, with no restriction, the urban land rent function is given by r = 100 – x, where x is distance in blocks to the CBD. Suppose that agricultural land rent rA is equal to 20.

(a) Compute in the absence of any restriction by landowners, and illustrate your result in a diagram. Now suppose that landowners can restrict to a value of 65 blocks. When they impose this restriction, the urban land-rent curve shifts up, with the new rent function given by r = 105 – x.

(b) Show the new land-rent curve in your diagram, and indicate the area corresponding to the land-rent loss resulting from the restriction, as well as the additional area showing the land-rent gain.

(c) Compute the sizes of these areas, and compute the net gain or loss in land rent from imposing the restriction. Is the restriction beneficial to the landlords? Will it be imposed? (Hint: The area corresponding to the land rent gain is a parallelogram, but instead of using the area formula for that type of shape, the area can be computed more easily by multiplying the horizontal length of the parallelogram (65 blocks) by its height.) Now suppose that the landowners can impose a further restriction, with set equal to 50 blocks. When this restriction is imposed, the urban land-rent curve shifts up more, with the new rent function given by r = 110 – x.

(d) Repeat (b) and (c). Relative to the original x restriction of 65, is this further restriction beneficial to the landlords? Will it be imposed?

(e) If your answer is different from before, explain intuitively why a difference emerges.
