9.According to a psychologist,William James,we do not laugh because we are happy,but rather,we are happy because we laugh.
The happiest people alive are those who know how to laugh often and well.
In his book ATouch of Wonder,Arthur Gordon tells of a friend of his who knew how to laugh.Though deaf and almost blind,he went on working,laughing and enjoying his life.
One Christmas Day,Arthur and his friend went into a crowded drugstore.On the back of the door was a mirror(镜子),which you can see when the door was closed.As they were leaving,Arthur's friend saw his image(影像) in the mirror.He thought the door must be open and his own image was a customer trying to enter the store.He moved to one side,and naturally,so did the image.He moved to the front again,and once more met his image.Again he moved back.
By now all the other people in the store felt strange but they kept silent.No one quite knew what to do or say.But when he moved to the front for the third time,the man realized that he was facing a mirror."Why,"he cried,"it's only me!"He bowed and said,"Good to see you,old boy!Merry Christmas!"All the people in the store laughed.
And why not?Here was a man who knew how to laugh at himself!He accepted his problems humorously.
We are given the ability to laugh,not only to laugh at things,but also to laugh things off.We'll always meet difficulties and troubles,but the happy person learns how to laugh them off.And that's the reason why they are happy.
