speak humor, be humorous

Chapter 1 Preface
Humor is the display of wisdom and talent.In a calm life, humor is the ripples in the lake; in a heroic endeavor, humor is the spray in the torrent; in the predicament of failure, humor is the starlight in the dark night.

Self-deprecating humor makes people feel humble and open-minded, can make a tense atmosphere relaxed, and make strange hearts closer.

When the famous American black lawyer John Mark published "To Free the Negro Slaves", most of the audience were whites, and they were generally hostile to blacks. Therefore, he gave up his original opening remarks and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here not so much to give a speech, but to add some color to the occasion." The audience laughed, and the antagonism was dispelled by laughter, and the meeting place was very orderly for several hours afterwards.

Ridiculous humor makes ordinary things interesting and adds a scene to dull life.

A chess fan, his chess skills are not high, but he loves chess like his life, and he has been defeated repeatedly in chess games.Someone asked him about his results, and he replied: "I didn't win the first set, he didn't lose the second set, and I didn't let him in the third set. The fight was very fierce. In the end, I said let's settle it, but he still refused! "This face-saving joke made people laugh, and there was a mischievous and cuteness in the words.

Metaphoric humor can make people feel the profound knowledge and rich associations, and bring your thoughts to a vast space.

An American reporter called to see Mr. Qian Zhongshu, the author of "Fortress Besieged", and Mr. Qian replied: "If you eat eggs and think they taste good, why bother to get to know the chicken that lays eggs?"

Confrontational humor shows wit and quickness.

One day, the great German poet Goethe was walking in the park and met a critic who opposed him on a narrow path.The arrogant critic said: "You know what? I am a man who never gives way to fools." Goethe smiled and replied: "I am just the opposite." After speaking, he let the critic pass.The confrontational humor is intriguing.

Humor is also a diluent for couples' conflicts.
