TimeLess: Humor-Wise and Humor Why’s<\/h3>\n

Since 1977, The HUMOR Project has been “taking humor seriously.” Here is some food for thought to make you “Humor-Wise”– why you and your organization might want to take humor seriously, too…<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The funny line and the bottom line intersect! In a survey of 737 CEO’s, over 98% of them indicated they would much rather hire somebody with a good sense of humor than somebody without one. You can take your job seriously… and yourself lightly!<\/li>\n
  2. Jest for the health of it! Laughter enhances respiration and circulation, oxygenates the blood, suppresses the stress-related hormones in the brain, and activates the immune system. Indeed, laughter is the jest medicine!<\/li>\n
  3. Humor as an antidote to stress: Humor can help us to move from a “grim and bear it” mentality to a “grin and share it” orientation. By using humor, you can prevent a “hardening of the attitudes,” which can help you add years to your life and life to your years.<\/li>\n
  4. “A smile is the shortest distance between two people,” according to Victor Borge. Humor can be a magnet to attract people, to build positive working relationships, and to improve morale and teamwork.<\/li>\n
  5. The HAHA-AHA connection: There definitely is a connection between humor and creativity. Humor can jump-start your creativity and give you the energy to think (and laugh) outside the box!<\/li>\n
  6. The laughing-learning link: Humor can be a powerful (and delightful) way to capture and maintain attention and free up tension… which means that retention increases!<\/li>\n
  7. Your Resilience Quotient: Norman Cousins’ best-selling book, Anatomy of an Illness, certainly opened up many people’s eyes to the notion that “S\/He who laughs lasts.” With humor, you can build resilience and get more smileage out of your life and work.<\/li>\n
  8. Humor as a saving (and amusing) grace for the planet: As our world gets proverbially smaller all the time, humor could help build important bridges between countries and cultures. As Erma Bombeck once said, “When humor goes, there goes civilization!”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
