You're welcome, but don't thank me. I've just described that little thing called learning.
As for the sources of joy... It varies. The flow state is a great source of joy and if you can strike the right balance it can make almost any occupation joyful.
But some people let themselves believe that their joy depends on something that other people do, say or, god forbid, think. So to make themselves happy they have to make other people behave, express themselves or think in a certain way. Happens a lot in marriage, but not exclusively.
And, yes I believe that I can always improve myself. And other people too.
