Can humor be cultivated?

I'm often told that I'm born dumb and have no sense of humor. Is humor really innate? Actually, it's not.

Humorous speech is the crystallization of one's thoughts, wisdom and inspiration in language use. To improve your sense of humor, you can start from the following aspects.

First, cultivate noble sentiments and hold an optimistic outlook on life.

"Humor belongs to optimistic people, and humor belongs to the strong in life." That makes sense. Humorous words should be based on healthy thinking and noble taste. It criticizes and exhorts people in good faith, which inevitably requires critics to have a higher ideological realm and cultivation. A narrow-minded and decadent person will not have a sense of humor. Generally speaking, a humorist has the characteristics of noble character, open mind and enthusiasm for people. Countless philosophers in the world show a sense of humor when talking with people, which makes people feel particularly warm and cordial, which is not unrelated to their optimistic spirit and noble taste.

Engels once said: "Humor is a sign that people have confidence in their own cause and that they have advantages." Only with optimistic beliefs can we calmly treat unpleasant things.

Humor is a natural reflection of one's attitude towards life and a manifestation of confidence in one's own strength. Only when a person is full of hope for his future will he show a heartfelt smile. Even in temporary adversity, he is still full of confidence in life. Find humor in life and iron out the scars left by life with happiness.

For those who are sad all day, life is full of pain and despair, and happiness is just an illusion. What humor can such a person talk about? Aesop, an ancient Greek fable writer, once went to town and met a judge on the way. The judge regarded Aesop as a slave and asked him where he was going.

I don't know. Aesop replied.

This answer made the judge suspicious and put him in prison.

"But, you know, I'm telling the truth." Aesop protested in prison. "I really didn't know I would go to prison." The judge smiled knowingly and released him.

Aesop was put into prison as a slave, which can be said to be in adversity. However, he is still optimistic about life and explores humor in life. Therefore, his Aesop's Fables is full of thinking and optimism about life and has become a precious heritage of mankind.

Second, cultivate good cultural literacy and train oral expression ability.

A person's humor is closely related to his intelligence, and intelligence is often closely related to his culture and education. Therefore, this requires us to have good cultural literacy and rich cultural knowledge. If a person has a good command of historical allusions, local customs, and all parts of the world, it is easy to speak lively. Humor masters at all times and all over the world are language masters. Humor is not affectation, but natural expression. I said with deep feelings, "I didn't mean to tell jokes, and the jokes naturally blurted out."

This is very insightful.

There are many humorous descriptions in numerous books at home and abroad, especially in satirical novels, comedy scripts, jokes and fables. Reading more of these works can inspire us. If all kinds of knowledge can be integrated and applied to real life, humor will appear. Because humor is a language that produces wonderful associations on the basis of extensive knowledge, sometimes a few words can explain many problems. People who know little about all kinds of knowledge in real life, people who have been ignorant, isolated or living in seclusion, have a hard time speaking and certainly have no sense of humor.

In addition, reading more short humorous works can also benefit a lot. An Outline of Ancient and Modern Times is a special collection of jokes by China, and one of them tells such a story.

Sun Hao asked by Liu Yu: "I heard that Jiangnan likes to write songs. Can you do it? " Sun Hao immediately raised his glass and said, "I used to be your neighbor, but now I am your minister." A glass of wine can make you live forever. "Emperor wu of song listened to regret.

The story satirizes those stupid and smart people and has profound implications. It will be good to read more similar works.

Third, cultivate keen observation and rich imagination.

Quick reaction is one of the characteristics of humorous conversation, which requires the speaker to be quick-thinking and eloquent. However, these are the results of deeply experiencing life and carefully observing things. Sharp observation is not only a necessary condition for science, but also an important factor in producing humorous words.

After Einstein put forward the theory of relativity, there were different opinions in the scientific community. 1930, Germany published a book, One Hundred Professors Stand Up and Prove Einstein Wrong.

Einstein just shrugged and said, "A hundred? Why are there so many people? In fact, as long as I can prove that I am really wrong, one person is enough. "

This shows that the understanding of truth does not depend on the number of people. Einstein defended the dignity of science with his humorous words.

To be humorous, we must "surprise and surprise". It is difficult to work without a rich imagination. You must be able to see through an ordinary thing from the inside out and from the outside in, and you can bring out what you don't know in a sentence or two. Create humor with rich imagination, and find things that others have not found in daily life. Modern people are imaginative and creative, so don't tie yourself down.

A person's sense of humor is always reflected in his social activities. The best way to make your language humorous is to learn from life. There are many people around us who have a good sense of humor. When you associate with people from all walks of life, you are often surprised to find that their clever use of language and humorous expression are fascinating enough. By getting close to all kinds of people, you will enhance your language reserve and conversation skills. If we are with humorous people, we will be infected. We should consciously approach people with a strong sense of humor. Enhance your sense of humor through contact and conversation.

Fourth, pay attention to the health and meaning of words.

Humorous language should be healthy and humorous, either joking or humorous. Pay attention to subtlety when you speak, and avoid being glib and vulgar. Although humorous language cannot be strictly required to have profound ideological implications, it must be healthy, not vulgar and frivolous, and cannot be confused with boring ridicule.

Laughing at other people's physical defects or talking about sex will not only show your humor, but will only expose your own vulgarity and shallowness. Humor should be based on upholding justice, which is conducive to unity and physical and mental health.

Sometimes, the speaker's unspoken expression will actually increase the humorous effect. Therefore, brilliant eloquence experts advocate that the speech should contain something without revealing it, and it should be light but not strong. If, before telling a joke, a person laughs his head off and can't breathe, how can he have a sense of humor? In addition, humor should be easy to understand and not profound, otherwise it will be as inexplicable as guessing, and it will not achieve the effect of laughing.

Things move forward, and people are always only interested in new things. Therefore, even if it is humorous, it will be boring to repeat it. Try to be original in your speech, which is the secret of humorous conversation.
