Measuring What Makes Life Worthwhile

This is one inspiring video by Chip Conley about measuring what makes life worthwhile. This was his speech during one of the sessions in Ted.com. Chip Conley creates joyful hotels, where he hopes his employees, customers, and investors alike can realize their full potential. He is the founder CEO of  Joie de Vivre Hospitality. Watch his video and be inspired.

I have been counting most of my life, being an Accountant in profession. And I always count what is tangible. When I make my cakes and pastries, I cannot do any recipe without correct measurements. Measurements and counting are essential but this video made me think to count even what is intangible. Happiness is tangible. Time is tangible. Tangible things that matter. My husband and I have this goal of someday putting up our own business. And Chip Conley gave me an idea on how to be a good business leader. He said that "We don't have to choose between getting inspired employees  and sizable profit." They can work well with each other. Another message from him is "We count numbers; we count on people. What really counts is when we actually use our numbers to truly take into account our people." With this in mind, I also know that in order to achieve success in business or in life, one has to think of ways on how to help more and more people to achieve their potential and come to terms with their own happiness and everything that is tangible in their lives.
