There is no sector more difficult to define nor more significant to the health and well being of our communities than the service sector. There's something wonderfully rewarding in being part of an effort that does make a difference. And there's something sparkling about being among other people when they're at their best. When any of us takes inventory of the meaning of our life, these special experiences have to be among the high points.
Happiness is, in the end, a simple thing.
Despite how complicated we try to make it or the entrapments we substitute for it, happiness is really caring and being able to do something about the caring. The problems of contemporary society are complex, the solutions more involved and the satisfactions more obscure, but the basic ingredients are still the caring and the resolve to make things better. From the simplicity of these have come today's exciting efforts on behalf of humanitarian causes ranging from equality to the environment and from health to peace. The best way to answer the question is by way of example. The unifying factors defining the service sector are in its approach to work and the intended outcome.
