①When someone says you're humorous, it means you are given a great gift — a sense of humor. It is generally considered the most valuable personality(个性). A person without humor is just like a spring without flowers, or like a dish without salt. In a way, your personality lies in your sense of humor.
②Humor answers your question and makes you think outside the box. One day, a young painter went to visit the famous German painter Adolpyh Menzel and said to him, "I can't understand why I only spend one day on a painting but have to wait for one year to sell it out?" Menzel said, "My dear, please try to turn upside down your mind. If you spend one year on it, you can sell it in a day." With these humorous words, your worries may go away like smoke, and you could be full of energy once again.
③Humor can help you when you are under provocation. Sometimes, people make trouble on purpose. One day the famous German poet Goethe met a critic(批评家) in a small road. The critic said to Goethe, "You know, I've never given a way to a stupid man." Goethe answered, "But I am the opposite of you." Then he moved on his side and let the critic pass by. As you see, humor gives a lesson to those who want to laugh at others.
④People with a good sense of humor may become wise and creative. People with a good sense of humor look happier and healthier. A sense of humor is really one of the keys to happiness. It gives hope and pleasure to life to make it worth living.
