What is humour？

　　A sense of humour is universally considered the most valuable asset(资产)in our personality．It is born within every person’s heart, but it has to be cultivated．A person without a sense of humour is just like a spring without flowers or a dish without seasoning．In a sense, your personality lies in your sense of humour．

　　Humour can enhance(提高)physical as well as mental well-beings．It helps us bare our burden, reduce tension, helps us overcome our frustrations, relax our muscles and dissolve countless trifles and irritations offered by daily life．

　　With the cracking of a joke, all of our worries and sadness disappear like mist and we are full of vigor once again．Besides, humour helps us live in harmony with others．With it you can always stay on good terms with others．

　　One way to cultivate a sense of humour is to have a wide range of knowledge about many topics so that the slightest differences in meaning of a joke can be fully understood; otherwise we would be simply at a loss in such a situation．Another important point in developing a sense of humour is to have a rich imagination．Nothing can be worse than the lack of imagination to kill an otherwise funny joke．

　　A sense of humour is one of the ways in which we relax and recreate ourselves．The things we find humourous may vary, but to have a sense of humour is very important and should be cultivated to get the most out of life．
