Why do you say you want to be a person who knows how to laugh at yourself?

Self-mockery generally means making fun of yourself. However, if we really discuss it, we can't explain its true connotation.

Self-mockery is a philosophy of life.

A self-mocker must love and be interested in life. If you don't love life, who will find yourself ridiculous, how can you find it ridiculous, and how can you say it! People who don't love life won't have fun, let alone find fun in themselves. They will only find pleasure in others to satisfy themselves.

The foundation of self-mockery is self-confidence. You can't laugh at yourself without self-confidence. Can't let Ah Q laugh at himself with his "ugly head". Not only can't, even if you mention "light", he will be anxious with you, from "glaring" to "fuck". With self-confidence, you dare to expose your dirty laundry. Pan Changjiang, a sketch actor, is short, but not inferior. He calls himself a "pocket man" and often jokes about his height. The phrase "all condensed things are good" has become a symbol of self-confidence and a sign of self-mockery.

Self-mockery is not inferiority complex, nor does it bring shame to yourself. Self-mockery is a modesty, a self-exposure of shortcomings and a self-adjustment. Therefore, self-mockery is completely different from the kind of low-interest scolding each other and scolding your grandson. Lincoln once joked about his appearance: a woman said he was ugly, and he argued that he could not blame himself. The woman retorted that it wasn't your fault, it was your fault when you went out. Who really thinks Lincoln is ugly? We just think he is cute and approachable. Qi Gong, a famous calligrapher, wrote a self-deprecating autobiography, which read: Middle school student, associate professor. Bo is not good, but he is not an expert. Although famous, it is not enough. Neither high nor low. Left paralysis, send to right. The surface is slightly round and the skin is not thick.

In a few words, the image of a modest elder jumped from the page.

Self-mockery can increase the fun of life. Zhang Damin in The Happy Life of garrulous Zhang Damin laughs all day and often makes fun of himself, showing an optimistic spirit. Even taking pains will bring laughter to life.

Self-mockery can ease embarrassment. Yang Lan, a famous TV presenter, suddenly fell to the ground while hosting a large-scale event. Yang Lan was unhurried and laughed at herself: "My tumbling action is not enough. Please see the famous lion dance program below. " The embarrassment was thus gently resolved.

Self-mockery can bring people closer together. During World War II, Churchill went to the United States for assistance. One day, he was taking a bath in the big bathtub of the White House when Roosevelt suddenly entered the room in a wheelchair. Churchill said, "Look, Mr. Roosevelt, I am the Prime Minister of the British Empire, but I have nothing to hide from the President of the United States!" " "They burst into laughter, and all the problems were solved in that frank laughter.

Socrates, a famous philosopher, is very good at self-mockery. He has a fierce wife who once threw cold water on his head in public. Sue said: After the thunder, there will be heavy rain. Later, he further concluded that if a man marries an ugly and evil wife, he will become a philosopher.

It is hard to know whether self-mockery made Socrates a philosopher or philosophy taught him to laugh at himself. But self-mockery is indeed a philosophy of life.
