I love this quote. It was said in the movie, National Lampoon's Van Wilder. It helps me to justify my attitude on life. There are so many people that I know in the workplace and socially that are wound so tight, that they are on the verge of a heart attack. One thing that I have determined is that the people that can laugh and joke even in tough situations, are the ones that never seem to have as many bad things happen to them as others. Why is this? Simple, because of their attitude.
It is important to understand that some situations call for serious behavior. My wife told me that I needed to be serious for only one day, our wedding. I agreed. Now 7 1/2 years later, she will tell you that I took that statement too literally.
So remember, laughter is nature's candy....or is that raisins, I can never be sure. I end with a challenge to all of you who are a little too serious for your Friday. While sitting at your desk, start singing any disco song that you think of. When someone asks what you are doing, respond by saying; "I think disco is making a comeback and I want to be ready."
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. ---e. e. cummings
My thought for today...I plan on incorporating Doc Hopper's French Fried Frog Legs into a normal conversation today. I was inspired last night as Yo Gabba Gabba had someone singing Rainbow Connection. I hope this meets your test of not being too serious.
