Studies show that stress suppresses a person&#8217;s creativity, lowers his mood and negatively affects his health.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\"> Balancing work and fun is an important factor in reducing stress (as Branson did). We can add a little fun to our lives by reading a good book, attending a dance or cooking class.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">We have a lot to learn from children. One is how to reduce stress and use our imagination. They don&#8217;t have a job to go to, no pay to worry about, which is enough to keep them stress-free.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">For every hour of the day, we can devote at least 5 minutes to a funny message, a call with the person we love, or planning our future. Actually, life is about enjoying the little things. Let&#8217;s be a little kid and look for fun in every corner of life.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Prioritizing-happiness-at-work-and-in-life\"><\/span>2) Prioritizing happiness at work and in life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-799\/co1hb7.jpeg\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">According to CNBC&#8217;s report, when Branson&#8217;s daughter Holly took a break from her medical studies and started an internship with her father, she found that her father&#8217;s childlike passion for seeking happiness in all areas of her life had a positive impact on every aspect of her job.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">As long as Branson&#8217;s employees are happy, its customers are also positively affected. According to Holly, her father&#8217;s motto is:<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Business should make lives better.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Branson has succeeded in reflecting this motto to Virgin Group of Companies. He founded Virgin Unite in 2004, where he ran projects on <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/en\/lgbt-movies-movie-lovers-favorites\/\" title=\"LGBT\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">LGBT<\/a> rights, climate change and the death penalty.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Branson has made happiness a priority for everyone, not just himself. We may all have different priorities, but science says being helpful to others brings happiness. If you&#8217;re undecided about a job, ask yourself: Will this job really put a smile on someone&#8217;s face? If your answer is yes, definitely go for it.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Keeping-the-sense-of-curiosity-awake\"><\/span>3) Keeping the sense of curiosity awake<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-799\/et7oz2.jpg\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\"> Richard Branson says that even as we age, we must keep the youthful energy within us alive.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\"> Of course, that doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean acting like a child. However, it is necessary to hold on tightly to the sense of curiosity that children have.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">We must see the good in people and know how to find the light of hope in any situation. An insatiable sense of curiosity is a trait we can see in successful entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Sarah Blakely and Bill Gates.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Not-wasting-time-on-initiatives-you-wont-be-happy-with\"><\/span>4) Not wasting time on initiatives you won&#8217;t be happy with<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nImage coverImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-799\/sac7ze.jpg\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\"> Branson says in a blog post:<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf you don&#8217;t enjoy what you&#8217;re doing, stop doing it.

Don&#8217;t waste your time doing anything that won&#8217;t fill you up or enlighten you for any purpose.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Yes, maybe you are not in a position to quit your 9-5 job right now, but you can do things that make you happy in your spare time.
