I love a good vacation; however, when I return, I always come back to work a bit punchy. This last trip, I contemplated and came up with some big ideas that helped me make the transition to work smoother. I blended stoic philosophy and positive psychology to rock at work.

In our quest to rock our work, we often focus on our weaknesses in hopes they'll become strengths. Concentrating on a weakness rarely helps.

Steve Martin wisely said, "Be so good they can't ignore you." I believe if we are going to be able to rock our work we need to learn to play to our strengths everyday while knowing our stuff. It's the difference between being someone chasing a passion and someone who is a craftsman. Between being an amateur and a pro.
