If you are angry you will share anger, if you are greedy you will share greed, if you are full of lust you will share your lust.

As one woman told me, "When I decided to come in to work happy, everybody around me became happy." This woman had decided to quit a job she hated, and on the last day of her two weeks' notice, she woke up happy.
