Steve really hated his workspace. It only had great office furniture and was very dulled. Even when he was feeling pretty positive on the way to work. Walking into his workspace brought him down. His wife suggested he take a few pictures from their last vacation to put on his desk as inspiration. Steve took the friend photos and found that they made him smile every time he looked at them, and his manager offered him a bookshelf to organize his files, young some awards he'd been given, which had gotten lost in the clutter.

Finally, Steve's direct reports gave him hanging it as a boss's day present. Steve was soon much happier in his workspace.
