What is the greatest of gifts in the field of an individual’s
personality? In our opinion, the greatest is the sense of humor that produces
the contagious smile, the genuine laugh.
A smile and a laugh can achieve what the greatest exertion often
fails to accomplish. It can set the mood at a meeting, or in a group, and it can
bring about a warm response quicker than anything else.
Have you ever wondered why you enjoy being around certain
people, while you dread the sight of others? Maybe it is because you enjoy the
company of the former and you enjoy it because they are pleasant and bring you
pleasure.
The person with a sense of humor possesses a matchless gift. He
will live longer, he will get more out of life, and he will go further. He can
make friends readily, and will usually be good company.
Try cultivating a genuine smile, and a genuine affection for
people to go along with it, and you will soon be amazed at the results. If you
do not have a finely developed
sense of
humor, and are in business, for example, try cultivating a sense of
humor.
