Three new understandings of humor

After reading the book Humor: Being a More Popular Person, I have a deeper understanding of the three words of humor:

In the preface, the author said that his favorite definition of humor is this: "Humor is an ability that allows you to always see the bright side of life; It allows you to always see the bright side of life; It allows you to have a happy perspective even in the face of the malice of life. Humorous people love to laugh, play, laugh and bring smiles to others. "

The first time I read this sentence, I have more admiration for humor. The original humor I understand is telling jokes, which can make people laugh. In this definition that the author likes, humor is so profound. I have seen that humor is a positive attitude towards life and a joy full of expectations for the future.

A variety show I like to watch is called "The Story of Qipa". One of my favorite contestants is Fu Seoul. Her jokes are particularly funny every time. At first, I didn't know why, but I especially liked her jokes. In fact, most of her jokes came from life, including herself, her husband and her son. Later, after reading a lot, I tried to summarize and analyze it, only to find that every time she seemed to spit, but after laughing, it made me feel particularly reasonable, and her points were all positive. She just took a positive attitude towards life.

For example, she said, "Every one of us should learn to grow up in love, learn to face it, face the gap, face the change, and face that sometimes we love a person especially, but he can only love us a little. When one day, when you can face a relationship calmly and stably, you will press it, because you will say to yourself, I am willing, no matter what the value is."

since I was a child, I like to watch funny sketches, which I find particularly funny, especially when I hear those sketch actors interpret those embarrassments and even pains, which makes me feel carefree and comfortable. After I started working, I gradually became fond of talk shows and cross talks. I feel particularly relieved every time I listen to them, and I always feel relieved after laughing. Once, I just used them as a way to decompress.

In a talk show, Zhang Wei said such a passage. I can't remember the original words. The main idea is that it's not easy for actors like talk shows. They all let their wounds bloom for the audience. They seem to be relaxed and bear a lot of their own bitterness behind them ...

This makes me suddenly enlightened. Yes, it's a form of humor. I like it very much because these actors exaggerate. The reason why they can show off in this way also means that they have digested these pains and transformed them into another form of presentation. At the same time, I also see a kind of joy full of expectations for the future, and I believe that the hardships will eventually come.

once upon a time, I thought that humor was a gift, and those with humor were born with it. Therefore, I never thought that I could be a humorous person. In this book, the author especially emphasizes that "deliberate practice is more important than talent in humor", and at the same time, the author gives many methods of practice, which greatly enhances my confidence in practicing humor.

I am now a certified speech coach. I believe that if I can add some humor to my speech, it will make my speech more exciting, so I will start to try to practice deliberately according to the method given by the author.

Before that, my understanding of humor was that it can be used in skits, cross talks, talk shows and other programs. However, in this book, the author listed many applications of humor in real life scenes, which made me realize once again that humor is actually very close to me and can be used everywhere in life, such as using humor to solve embarrassment.

In fact, I often encounter embarrassing scenes in my life. Many times, when I encounter embarrassment, I just want to find a crack in the ground, and I will be red-faced. But after reading this book, I realize that embarrassment can actually be used to solve it. One of the points of those people who are said to have high emotional intelligence is that they can flexibly adapt to various situations including embarrassment.

So, humor is actually close to me and practical, and can be improved through deliberate practice. I also believe that one day, I will become a truly humorous person!
