I thought everyone who volunteered must be cheerful. My volunteering in clinical trial makes me happy and I always show up and leave from my appointments cheerfully. I was quite surprised recently to hear of a study volunteer whose motivation escapes me. Although it is a very good cause, he arrives at his appointments in a consistently dour mood and devies the nurses' best efforts to engage him in any kind of conversation. He volunteers only essential information and nothing more. This is one more I need to add to my list of life's mysteries.
