At the beginning, I want to share a story with you. A long time ago, the America president, Reagan, he went to visit Canada, he was also invited to have a speech in Canada. However, during the speech, there was a demonstration from people who opposed America; they also interrupted Reagan’s speech many times. Due to this situation, the Canada president felt very embarrassed. On the contrary, Reagan still wore a smile on his face, and said: the demonstration happened very often in America; therefore, I think those people must came from America, they wanted to make me feel at home. After hearing this, the Canada president smiled, too. Hence, from this story, we can realize humor is the best medicine of the embarrassing atmosphere. In our interpersonal relations, we must be meet some embarrassing situation inevitably, the situation often make both not know what to do. But, at this time, if we can bring humor into full play, we can resolve the embarrassment, making the atmosphere become more joyful and easy.
Except resolving the embarrassment, humor also has other function. For instance, sometimes we want to tell others their shortcomings, but we are scared of that they will be hurt. At this time humor is useful. For example, one day, a boss came into the office, as soon as he saw his secretary, he told her: the clothe you wore today was pretty just like you, pretty and lovely. After hearing this, the secretary was very happy, but the boss continued saying: but I hoped that the way you dealt with document could be as pretty as you. From that day, the secretary was careful to deal with the document, and never did wrong again. In this way, the secretary won’t fell hurt; the boss also can achieve his goal. Isn’t it a good way?
However, when it comes to humor, we always associate humor with mocking others. To be honest, in our life, sometimes if we can have some jokes by the way of humor and easy with our friends or family. It can be a good way to enhance the relationship. Take myself for example, once, Carnation and I stood together in front of a big mirror. When we looked in the mirror, she said my skin color was whiter than you. As soon as I heard, I told her: but I am taller than you and thinner than you. After that, we were not angry with each other, instead we become closer.
Generally speaking, the function of humor is that make people feel happy and joyful, instead of being ironic. Therefore, we should avoid using words which will make people fell shame or embarrassed.
Last but not least, if we lack of humor in our life, it seems we lack something. So we use humor language to flavor our life. When we use the humor language, we also need to stop before going too far. Because less is better, too much will lose its beauty.
