Dale Carnegie: The strength of life comes from humor.
The baby is crying, the food is burned, the schoolchildren don't listen to the teacher, the church doesn't pay attention to the pastor's sermon, the consumer complains about buying expired food, the salesman is worried about not achieving sales performance, the boss stretches his face, the staff is sullen, and the colleague does not fulfill his duties, as if nothing is right!
Maybe it's worse than that, your promotions, performance appraisals, salary increases, etc., all in vain.
To cope with life's challenges, you need strength – whether you are a parent or a child, a teacher or a student, a preacher or a listener, a salesperson or a consumer, a boss or a clerk, a boss or a subordinate. That's exactly what I'm going to emphasize in this book – the power of humor is needed!
What is the power of humor?Is it the same thing as a sense of humor?And what is humor?Now let's explain a few words clearly.
Humor refers to a trait that induces joy, brings joy, or entertains people in a pleasant way.
A sense of humor is an ability to understand and express humor.
The power of humor is an art, an art that uses your sense of humor and humor to enhance your relationships with others and improve your evaluation of your own sincerity.
In my personal life, I share the power of humor with my wife, Bedian, and our eight children. I learned more about the power of humor from my children than I taught them.
Based on my personal experience, I am convinced that we can find out: how to press a button!
Just as when we turn on a light switch and electricity is delivered along the wires, pressing the button of our humorous power can lead to a special force. We direct this power of humor to direct communication with others.
With humor, we can learn to replace distress with laughter. Through the power of humor, we can transcend ourselves and others above suffering.
In fact, the power of humor is formed primarily in our emotions, not in our intellect. The power of your humor is to show you in a pleasant way. It expresses your personal sincerity, the generosity of your nature and the goodness of your heart.
True humor springs from within, more than from the head. It is not contempt, its essence is love.
Humor can lubricate interpersonal relationships, eliminate tension, relieve stress in life, and improve the quality of life. It pulls us out of each other's shells, keeps us from tension with others, dissolves the frost, and makes us good friends. It can lift us, boost our confidence, and free us from many unpleasant situations.
