"Is using humor the best way to approach difficult situations and problems?"</p>
<p>here is my essay</p>
<p>Optimism is the antidote to problems. The severer the situations is , the more we should laugh. Be humor when coping with convoluted problems is not only a cathartic approach, but also a positive attitude. Just as Winston Churchill has said, pessimist sees problem in every opportunity, while optimist sees opportunity in every problem. People like the poet Li Bai in ancient Tang Dynasty, Mark Twain and the comedy tour The Axis of Evil, all burst out their laugh no matter how serious the situation is.
Li Bai, one of the greatest poet in Ancient China, is a sanguine man. Bearing a spontaneous and bohemian nature, he was totally unsuitable for a position in court and was ousted to distant area. Though dismissed by Tang Emperor, Li Bai soon turned his frustration to gaiety. He enthralled in gorgeous mountains and clear fountains. We could never see any glooms in his poem. On the contrary, his poets were fulfilled with laughter and joy. Li Bai applied his optimism and spirit to his poems, which became diamond masterpieces.
Besides Li Bai, Mark Twain is a well-known humorist who can dissolve embarrassment and dilemma in a funny and witty way. Once he sat with a madam in a banquet, he appraised the madam and said, You are really beautiful. Unfortunately,, the madam replied, I cannot equally praising you. Mark Twain did not mid at all and said laughingly, Madam, just tell lie like I do.
Mark Twain used humor to resolve a embarrassed situation. So did the comedy tour Axis of Evil.
Axis of Evil is a comedy tour consisted of a Iranian America, a Egyptian America, and a Pakistani America. The three country is always considered as evil and horror politically. Not mention that people from Iran and Pakistan are always deemed as terrorist and suicide attacker wherever they go. However, these three comedy actors show a different facet of the so-called evil country. In their performance in Dubai, Londan and New York, they tell the world, in a humorous manner, that Iranian, Egyptian and Pakistani can also smile, can also be kind and adorable like others.
Facing difficulties, Li Bai used humor to obtain joy and pleasure; facing dilemmas, Mark Twain used his humor to cope with scoff and embarrassment; facing misunderstandings, comedy tour The Axis of Evil use humor to remodel their characters. Humor is a fertilization that can nurture flowers from the weeds. Laughter, at any time, is the most important method to cope with difficulties. Embracing such a optimist attitude, we can always seek for opportunities and methods to conquer obstacles.</p>
