Welcome Forbes Readers
Welcome Forbes.com readers. You will see articles based on building a better career, but what separates me from others is my core belief.
I believe that to do work that we love, we must develop our skills at our present jobs. Too many of us jump ship only to hate our next job.
A new job isn’t going to solve our problems. More money won’t either. What does make us happier is connecting to the work that we do. We have to learn discover our strengths and passions then figure out how to mold them into a career.
It comes down to doing work that we believe in.
Once we can connect our hearts with our minds, we then can pursue the career that excites us.
Here are a few articles that will help guide your career:

Why Don’t People Laugh at Work?
This is a guest post from Drew Tarvin
When I first started in the corporate world, I didn’t realize how little my fellow employees laughed. It wasn’t until I started doing corporate stand-up gigs that I noticed the distinct lack of chuckles, giggles, and guffaws in the workplace. The question is, why is laughter missing?
Stand-Up or Sit Down
After my very first corporate stand-up show, I thought I did terrible. No one had laughed as much as they did in the comedy clubs, and it didn’t seem like my jokes resonated with the audience. But after the show, the other comedian I performed with (a veteran on the corporate circuit) congratulated me, saying he was impressed with how well I did. I chalked it up to him trying to spare my feelings.
