Laugh Right Back

“He that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.”
– Proverbs 15:15b
* Every survival kit should include a sense of humor.
* A sense of humor reduces people & problems to their proper proportions.
* A sense of humor is a test of sanity.
* Genuine humor is always kindly & gracious. It points out the weakness of humanity, but shows no contempt & leaves no sting.
* It’s a grand person indeed who can laugh at himself with others & enjoy it as much as they do.
* A sense of humor can help you overlook the unattractive, tolerate the unpleasant, cope with the unexpected, & smile through the unbearable.
* If the World laughs at you, laugh right back—it’s as funny as you are.
* Imagination was given to a man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.
* Good humor is the health of the soul, sadness its poison.
* A man with a sense of humor doesn’t make jokes out of life; he merely recognizes the ones that are there.
“A Merry heart doeth good like a medicine.”
—Proverbs.17:22.

The leaders I met, whatever walk of life they were from, whatever institutions they were presiding over, always referred back to the same failure something that happened to them that was personally difficult, even traumatic, something that made them feel that desperate sense of hitting bottom–as something they thought was almost a necessity. It’s as if at that moment the iron entered their soul; that moment created the resilience that leaders need.WarrenG.BennisWarren G. Bennis
