It might take a little coffee or maybe a few rounds of beer (or any other booze you can get your hands on!) when it comes to relaxing after a hard day’s work. But what’s really interesting is how people continue with their day to day lives when faced with vein-popping stress? I mean, the new age thing like Zen or yoga is one of the good things and it actually works. Is there room in our modern world for the intellectual side of people? It kind of had me thinking that there really must be something in this ‘mind-over-matter’ thing.
Humour is indeed pretty much the best medicine there is whatever your situation. Despite what’s happening in your life, and whatever ordeals, problems and issues you may be struggling with, it’s better to laugh while facing the troubles with a clear mind than project anger through a clouded vision.
One of my favourite celebrities of all time may have to be Woody Allen. Now this is one guy who gives you the in-your-face bluntness that he pulls out with gusto, even without even trying. You can talk just about anything with the man, and he’s bound to mock the subject and you’ll end up laughing rather than being upset about it.
Woody Allen has this to say:
1. “Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons
2. “I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it’s the government.”
3. “There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?”
4. “Love is the answer, but while you’re waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions.”
5. “A fast word about oral contraception. I asked a girl to go to bed with me, she said ‘no’.”
6. “Basically my wife was immature. I’d be at home in the bath and she’d come in and sink my boats.”
7. “I am not afraid of death, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.”
8. “I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.”
9. “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.”
And despite what may happen to all of us in the next ten, twenty, or even thirty years, I guess we have to learn to see things in a different light. I can’t seem to imagine life without a little piece of wisdom that could guide me. Whether we’re religious or not, or whether Life According to Woody Allen is more your cup of tea, it takes courage to accept your fears and learn how to deal with.
And to sum things up, here is the last nugget of wisdom to go by however, whenever, and wherever we may be.
10. “The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don’t have.”
