The Secret Of Laughter
Ever heard the laughter is the best medicine? In this world full of stress, conflicts and problems, sometimes the best thing to do is just to laugh.
If you ever fall or trip, laugh at yourself. The ability to laugh at yourself instead of being angry, blaming others or being terribly ashamed reflects positive attitude. If you have a problem turn it into a joke and laugh at it. Once you're done laughing then you can find a solution to it and get your mind straight.
The person who always makes me laugh whenever i talk about my problems is my sister.
There was once when my Physics teacher planned to give us 6 tests in a row- to be completed in 2 weeks. So every time we came for physics class it was a test. Imagine that... Then one day, when we were halfway done with our Physics Test Marathon, he cheerfully announced " I will add one more test for you." The minute I heard that I started laughing so hard because i couldn't believe my ears.
When you are facing a difficult situation or feeling down, its good to laugh and let it out. You must be wondering how and why does laughter has such a big effect on us?

I'm writing this after watching Just For Laugh Gags a few minutes ago on Disney Channel. Ever since I started my study break there has been more time to watch this favourite show of mine.
Go ahead and have your laugh of the day. Not a fake omg-im-so-perky kind of laugh.
But a laughter truly from the heart even makes a person look more beautiful :)
