In order that people may be happy
In 1851 John Ruskin* said:
In order that people may be happy at work, these three things are needed:
They must be fit for it, they must not do too much of it, and they must have a sense of success in it.
*John Ruskin (8 February 1819 – 20 January 1900) was the leading English art critic of the Victorian era, as well as an art patron, draughtsman, watercolourist, a prominent social thinker and philanthropist.

Media out of balance
Via Seth Godin:
Successful media (let’s define ‘successful’ as media that can make a difference, make a connection and possibly make a living) has four elements:
Attention
Enrollment
Trust and
Permission
Too often, particularly online, people just worry about the first one.
It’s a race to go viral, to go low, to make a bunch of noise. The quick hit, the shortcut, the inflammation.
But attention is insufficient.
Enrollment means that your audience wants to go where you’re going.
Trust earns you the benefit of the doubt.
And permission means you don’t have to begin from scratch every time. You’ve earned some attention. The privilege of delivering anticipated, personal and relevant messages over time.
