Humour is Everywhere. Look For it and Enjoy

Humour is Everywhere

As many of you know I speak on the topic of humour and attitude in human health and relations. I am always on the look-out for humour that flows out of our shared human condition.

When I hear or observe a funny situation or story I write it down in my ever present notebook for possible use in a book or future talk.

Here is one from my collection. Hope you like it.

A commercial airline pilot, on his way to take over a flight out of Calgary, sat next to a mother who was nursing her newborn baby. As he glanced her way she felt the need to explain, " My doctor said it would prevent the baby's ears from plugging on take-off and landing."

Not knowing how to respond the pilot found himself saying," And all these years of flying I have been chewing gum."

5 Questions that Must be Asked if the World is to Survive

5 questions we must refelect upon if the world is to survive.

1. How come we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?
2. How much deeper would the oceans be if sponges didn't live there?

3. How do you know when your bagpipes are out of tune?
4. How come fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?
5. How come economy- size means big in soap but small in cars?

I want to stress my belief that the world will never become what it can and should be unless these profound questions are seriously addressed.

Article: What Kind of Leader Are You? M. Moore

There are literally millions of words written and spoken each week on enlightened leadership yet the fact remains that low morale, high stress and job dissatisfaction continue to be three of the most serious problems facing the workplace. We seem to be so effectively socialized into top down leadership that we find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to change our autocratic ways. All this in spite of the many workshops and seminars on new leadership paradigms which are rooted in the empowerment of people.

Change is both slow and painful but it is happening. To facilitate this process of change requires both desire and commitment plus a sound understanding of what an enlightened leader looks like. It is necessary to visualize the type of leader we are striving to become.

AN ENLIGHTENED LEADER...
* values the ideas and opinions of others.
* listens attentively.
* affirms generously
* criticizes gently and privately.
* trusts the collective wisdom of the group.
* encourages others to achieve their enormous untapped potential.
* catches people doing things right.
* involves people in decisions which effect their destiny.
* keeps people informed.
* has a sense of humour.
* trusts the decisions of others.
* realizes that his/her opinion is just one among many.
* isn't threatened when people disagree with them.
* rejects the " my way or the highway" paradigm.
* cares about the total well being of those with whom she/he works.
* believes that the most valuable inventory of any business is people.

* seeks out and acts upon the advice of others.

* gives credit rather than takes credit.

These are a few of the characteristics of an enlightened leader which, if present in the workplace, result in decreased stress, improved morale and increased productivity.

It is in the best interest of any business to care about the well being of its employees.

Divorce is Difficult but Often Necessary by Mike Moore

My barber and I have divorced. The separation came after much deliberation and soul searching. I just couldn’t take the doom and gloom another second. (I always seem to hang on to what is familiar even when I know it’s time to let go.)

God knows I hung in as long as I could out of habit and routine, hoping against hope that things would change… but they didn’t. I reached a point where I could no longer sit captive and endure his cynicism, negativity and fear inducing diatribes.

The fact that he would constantly stop cutting my hair then stand in front of me brandishing his scissors and comb while ranting on about something or other and expecting me to agree with him, made the decision to divorce the right one. Thank God there were no children involved.

Finally I couldn’t take it any longer. After he had finished his rant I looked at him and said,” Why is it that after every haircut you give me I feel like jumping off the nearest cliff? I noticed that even those waiting to have their haircut snickered in what I took as agreement.

We have been divorced about a year now and I’m getting on with my life. Things do seem to work out in the end.

If you’re interested in the follow-up to this I have now found a new barber who is more positive, joyful and more pleasant to be near. She can also talk and cut at the same time.

I have finally found happiness.

The Positive Value of Having a Sense of Humour

When you have a good sense of humour and can easily make people laugh at home,work and at play great things begin to happen. People like you and are more open to your ideas and opinions.

When you able to laugh at yourself a bonding takes place that impacts positively on any group you are a part of. People like to be with people who are fun and don't take themselves too seriously. As C.S. Lewis once said," Life is too serious to be taken seriously."

When inevitable conflict raises its destructive head a sense of humour, and the resulting laughter, serves as a social lubricant which helps us deal with conflict in a reasonable way that avoids frustration,anger and alienation.

" When it feels good to laugh then laugh to feel good." M Moore Isn't this what enjoyment is all about?

It is important to remember that you aren't born with a sense of humour. It can be learned at any age. All you need is the desire and a few instructions.
