The Fish! Philosophy (styled FISH! Philosophy), modeled after the Pike Place Fish Market, is a technique to make individuals alert and active in the workplace. John Christensen created this philosophy in 1998 to improve "organizational culture". Its central four ideas, which have been adopted at some companies and schools, are: #choosing one’s attitude, #playing at work, #making someone’s day, and #being present. == History == On a visit to Seattle in 1997, John Christensen, owner of ChartHouse Learning, observed fish sellers at Pike Place Fish Market, tossing trout and salmon through the air of the market providing high energy which energized many pedestrians passing by on their lunch breaks.〔Tucker, Charlotte. "Fish! Philosophy Helps Workers Have Fun." ''York Daily Record'' (PA) 21 Mar. 2007: ''Newspaper Source.'' Web. 7 Nov. 2013.〕 They gave their complete attention to each customer and ensured each had an enjoyable visit. Christensen noticed the actual work of selling fish was repetitive, cold and exhausting. It occurred to him that the fishmongers might not enjoy every part of their job, but they chose to bring joy to how they approached it. They also sold a lot of fish. He asked the fishmongers if he could film them and they agreed. Lee Copeland Gladwin reports the events at hand spawned a film entitled ''Fish'' to be released, June 1998. John Christensen created the Fish Philosophy in 1998. From the film, a book entitled ''Fish! A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results'', by Stephen C. Lundin, Harry Paul, and John Christensen was written.〔Gladwin, Lee Copeland. "Fish". ''Computerworld'' 35.25 (2001): 38. ''MAS Complete''. Web. 31 Oct. 2013.〕 When Christensen and his team examined the footage, they identified four simple practices anyone could apply to their work and life.〔ChartHouse Learning. Fish! Culture Facilitator's Guide. 2007. p. 29-30〕 Karen Boynes, asserts once application of the four concepts of choosing one's attitude, playing at work, making someone's day, and being present, start, the environment changes to welcome positivity into the work place.〔Boynes, Karen. "The Fish! Philosophy." ''Education Today'' 4 (2007): 22.〕 ChartHouse Learning called these concepts The Fish! Philosophy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fish!
