There is no good medicine to cure, only a happy mood can restore health. I deliberately said that you have irregular menstruation, which makes you laugh often. "

While on duty, Jerry actually caught a wanted man disguised as a man. The sheriff asked him, "How do you recognize a criminal disguised as a man?" Jerry said, "I don't think he has the habit of women." The sheriff asked, "What habit?" Jerry said, "It's very simple.

Humor in life is often very colorful. No matter what kind of problems you encounter in life, it is a method to skillfully use humor at the right moment, which often gets twice the result with half the effort.

If people can be divided into vivid people and boring people, then people with a sense of humor can be described as vivid people. Getting along with lively people will make you feel happy, while getting along with boring people who lack a sense of humor is a burden. If we can borrow the phrase "less wine respects friends, more words make lovers", can we prove this? Humorous people are good at controlling their expressions and emotions, or seeing them in form or hiding them in their hearts, which is natural and natural. People who lack a sense of humor are more serious than happy. Don't be serious when they are serious, and don't be serious when they are serious.
The great dramatist Shakespeare said, "I would rather let a fool make me happy than a wise man make me sad."
Humor is the crystallization of wisdom and inspiration. Can make the language shine instantly. It is often aimed at the weakness of human nature, with a gentle and generous attitude, exaggerated or wrong way, joking implicit words, making people alert in a knowing smile.
Humor is the lubricant of language and has a positive impact on interpersonal communication. But many people use humor in the wrong direction. They insulted each other instead of making them laugh. The most appropriate way of humor is to laugh at yourself and make jokes, rather than poking fun at other people's ridiculous places. If you do this, you will get the opposite result.
When using humor, don't underestimate yourself, it is more important to respect others. If you use humor to expose each other's shortcomings and show your cleverness, the other party will definitely dislike you. So when you are looking for humorous material, you'd better find your own shortcomings first, even if others do have something ridiculous. But if it hurts the dignity of that person, it's better not to say it.
When you stop to watch, you will find what an interesting person you are.
