How does cigerette smoking give satisfaction to smokers?
because it pisses the hell out of non smokers
Reply:After awhile nicotine stimulates the same hormones that are stimulated when you eat or have sex. which make you feel like you are ok. ok I have food, ok I have sex, ok I have a cigarette.
Reply:I'm a smoker, and while it does FEEL like it makes us feel better and calm us down and such, it's really like any other drug, it's psychological. All of us smokers could quit if we really wanted to.
Reply:In the beginning of smoking there is some you can call it relaxation (due to less amount of oxygen in lungs and brain)
After some time it become a habit. more over since the more you pull air the more cigarette burn, smokers feel that it a way of relieving.
Reply:cigarette smoking is often a way to relieve boredom. it gives your hand something to do.
It's also seen by smokers as a way to relieve stress or anxiety. It's also obviously an addiction.
Many smokers also see it as a good complement to alcohol. This is how many smokers started smoking. By smoking at parties or at bars.
Reply:it does not and that is the reason for repeating it again and again
Reply:Nicotine increases release of acetylcholine in the synapses of the brain and thus increases their activity.
This is why many smokers claim smoking makes them more awake and alert - it does. This action also shortens reaction time and increases attention (that's simply what increased cholinergic activity does in the brain.
This is the reason why so many truckers smoke.
Increased activity of the cholinergic neurons increases release of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the reward pathways of your brain. Reward circuitry - once you're hooked on nicotine, it keeps reinforcing the addiction.
The brain produces more endorphine when exposed to nicotine - again, it feels good, you want more.
Unfortunately nicotine is a drug that works very well and very strong, that's why it is so hard to kick.
Reply:It does not. As an ex-chain smoker I can say that it gave me a "false impression" that I am getting something out of it. The only satisfaction is that I've fed my brain with Nicotine, and have enough smokes left for the day when next craving hits.
Satisfaction to what? I used to smoke when happy,sad,lonely,partying,stressed and relaxed. These are all opposite situations. So obviously, its all in the head. I quit cold turkey and do not crave for cigarettes at all anymore. I credit my success to all the information available on the internet - if I had all this at my fingertips 10 years ago, I would not have started.
Reply:it helps us live in a world full of politically correct people who assume they know best how people should live.
Reply:Nicotine... When you begin smoking it actually does relieve tension and depression, chemically speaking. So it does do the job its supposed to do. And yes, I am a smoker. But its a double edged sword because once the addiction kicks in it ends up creating its own tension and depression. So if your constantly running low on nicotine (and your tension and depression are high anyway) your essentially doubling exactly what you where trying to get rid of in the first place.
Reply:As a smoker, not a damn thing. I'm just addicted to
cancers sticks. Still trying to quit but it's so
difficult to do. I know, it's such a waste isn't it!
Reply:Nicotene is a drug, and is addictive, I thought the world knew that. The habit with the hand thing is a part of it too. I am killing myself with the damn cigarettes. I'm sure you would say, "why don't you just quit" oh god.I wish I had never smoked. Nicotene is more addictive than heroine. Some people are addicts. Others aren't, if your not you wouldn't understand.

What relationship exists between Values, Attitudes, Job Satisfaction and Productivity?
One thing you should understand is, how a person values when he or she will gain by doing a particular task will go a long way to affect productivity. I do not know if you are aware of this formula from Vroom 1964 B= V* E. that is B motivate behavior equals V the value of reward by E expectancy which is how confident that we will actually get reward for it. So if one those not value any reward in a workplace, it means he or she has no expectancies and that no motivation. If there is no motivation it productivity that suffers. that the link between values and productivity.

How can a person achieve the highest rate of self satisfaction?
MORAL, ATTITUDE TOWARDS OTHERS,
How can a person achieve the highest rate of self satisfaction?
In order to reach self-satisfaction, you must accept yourself for who you are.
While you can still strive to be better, you cannot have self-realization without self satisfaction and confidence.
I, for example, simply realized I am who I am, I will not know the secrets to the universe, and realized this is the only life I KNOW I will have. That helped me accept who I was, which brough self satisfaction, and general happiness in life.
Reply:one can really achieve by helping a needy one
Reply:The level of satisfaction one can achieve in his life is purely a stand 'alone phenomenon' and education,morality or anything else has no direct bearing on it.It's a kind of mental state in which we accept a level which satisfies us fully and from it we derive the self satisfaction .In it's peak form,we can say it's the ultimate level.Call it the highest form of self satisfaction,if you so desire.
Reply:set short term achievable goals and be successful

Do you get work satisfaction working abroad?
This question is especially for Indians working/living in Australia. Do you feel satisfied with the work you are doing? And do you think you are improving your leadership skills and getting chances to show your leadership skills? Or do you feel that you are stuck in a routine kind of job and your personality has become more like a submissive and polite follower rather than like an enthusiastic leader?
And do you think you could ever get a similar salary package working in India?
What has been your experience and what are your views about these issues? If possible, please give detailed answers. Thanks
Do you get work satisfaction working abroad?
The place is not a concern. Wherever we are, as long as the work is ethical and also, we are proving our excellence for the benefit of the organization that is paying us, should be giving a rewarding satisfaction. Sometimes, in the current working atmosphere, there may be parasites that attempt to jeopardize our mental tranquility by involving in dirty politics. I would say, we just need to ignore them.
I would actually recommend this tool called Todolist http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applicatio... which supports managing of our tasks effectively.
Reply:Since you have mentioned Australia I reckon you need some views on how Indians relate themselves when they work for a White. No No, do not jump to conculsions. I am not a racist. This view is shared by many Indians who have returned to India for good after one or two decades of stay abroad. Well I live and work in the Middle East. My place is not relevant. In my work I either report to or work with people of other nationality, predominantly people who cannot be labelled as "Coloured". First I will answer your questions.
Satisfaction in Job: Well it depends on whether your work is related to your specific qualification and training which you have had in India before coming abroad. As against the work atmosphere in India, if you like your work, working abroad should be enjoyable. You would hardly find petty poiltics in the office. People will not think twice before saying sorry, or thanks. Your contribution to the org. will be recognized and rewarded. But the demerit is despite your hard work, Indians are not rated highly by foreigners and if you intend to occupy the CEO's seat in the org. ,one day, forget it.
Leadership skills: This related to the above issue. Well within your work-framework you will be considered as a team leader. In fact the word team leader came to India from abroad. The usual designation is "manager". If you lead your assistants well and do your job and meet the deadlines your leadership skills should get fine tuned.
Routine - submissiveness - and politeness: Well being polite does not mean you are sub-servient. You will find CEOs of MNCs very polite. Routine work; yes. You cannot diversify so much. Unless you complete your daily agenda you will have problems with your boss. Most Indians have a feeling that they are in some way inferior to their counterparts in the West. Being meek and submissive probably emanates from the strict household discipline which is followed in most Indian homes. Indians address strangers with "Sir" when there is no need. In certain societies in India, a wife cannot mention the name of her husband even in his absence. Grown up sons do not see their father eye to eye and talk. When we go abroad we carry this feeling that to whoever you are reporting in your work is a Guru and should be held in awe. Actually we cannot blame Aussies or for that matter any white for this issue. Your white boss does not mind if you address him as Mr. so and so. Can you do it in India? Imagine going into the Chairman's room of any Indian nationalised bank and calling him as Mr. Gupta or Mr Sharma and start the conversation. For the sake of few dollars more, if Indians cringe and crawl before a foreign employer, they are not to be blamed.
Pay package: After 2000 the salary of an average Indian in whatever field he is in, has shot up. This cannot be denied. I have found an exodus of Indian executives from ME heading directly to Bombay. People who have had a long tenure abroad, are returning. Pay is good now in Bharat.
But despite all this, working abroad has its own fun. You will not find a govt., servant expecting tip for everything he does for you; you have single window system when you deal with govt. agencies which comfort is not there, or only limitedly, in India; you will not find people jumping the line in airport to check-in; you will find stranger holding the door open for you when you are holding your child; places are neat and clean (Singapore for instance); Driving is a pleasure and you will not get the feeling that all other drivers are set to exterminate you; letters sent by ordinary post reach the next day whereas in our country you get the appointment order from the Employment exchange for a post you applied when you graduated delivered to you when your son is about to join Engg., college, and the like. Yes life is good. Unless you are so homesick. In that case, even if you get a well paid job in Denmark, which is rated as the best country to live in, you will not be happy.
To close, whenever I think of returning to India, I am really scared. No not as long as parliamentarins and legislators change. Australians may not be the best bosses to work for, but in a ten point scale where one end is occupied by an Indian caste-ridden prejudiced underqualified and foul mouthed MD, and the other end by an Aussie, nothing wrong in voting in his favour.
Love all, Krish.

I hate being just the good "Worker Bee" at work. I want alot more satisfaction out of work! How do I get it?
To get satisfaction from your job you need to be happy with yourself.
I too was the good "worker bee" but I started attending college courses, seminars and doing a myriad of other things to increase my knowledge and experience.
Doing this gave me a sense of self satisfaction and showed my boss I was serious about my job and company advancement.
