Chapter 8 Lighten Up!

Find something to celebrate and something to laugh about.

"In stressful circumstances, when times are grim, celebration is usually the furthest thing from anyone's mind. Under survival conditions, laughter is an unnatural act, and in tough business situations, humor can seem frivolous, inappropriate, or out-of-touch."

Reading this quote from the text, I remembered what I was trying to do when I was in high school. As I was a person that do not like conflict and didn't like people crying or having problems because of that conflict, I tried to encourage them by making them smile (laugh) and lighten up. When I was listening to my friends' talk and counseling them, I tried to be stupid and make them smile so that they can think easy about the problems.Though others might thought of my behavior as I am out-of -touch, I didn't really care about it because I believed that using my humor and then making them smile will lead to a solution in a good way.

I have found a good movie which makes us lighten up!
This movie makes us smile and at the same time for me, it comes to my mind about my childhood. As some knows, and some might not know, I am a twin. According to mu mother, the same things happening in the movie also happened to myself (ourselves). We used to talk in our language that nobody except ourselves could understand just as the movie. We even fighted in that language and also laughed at the same time. It is really strange but it seems that the conversation is established.
