有一種東西，比我們的面貌更像我們，那便是我們的表情。還有另外一種東西，比表情更像我們，那便是我們的微笑：）
Always laugh out loud when you can. Laughter is cheap medicine.

人生歷經不同的痛苦煎熬後，我終於了解，學習如何化解痛苦，還不如練習用一種自我解嘲的幽默方式，慢慢將痛苦吞食，或許在某一瞬間，還會有甘甜的滋味在喉間。
- Set the face for the day — smile at yourself in the mirror first thing in the morning.
- Laugh out loud, not just inwardly — pretend-laughing for ten seconds usually becomes real laughing. The body doesn’t fully know the difference.
- Ask “what’s the joke here?” — when something goes wrong, hunt for the absurd angle. There is almost always one.
- Keep levity in your media diet — consume genuinely funny things (e.g. memes) on purpose, like a nutrient. 2
- Laugh with people, not at them — shared laughter builds bonds; laughter at someone’s expense breaks them.
