The importance of being funny


Yes, funny is important.

I learned that early in life, listening to my mom telling compelling stories.

Back then I had no idea about the meaning of the word compelling. But I did realize that there was something in the way she told the story that made me cherish the experience and constantly looking for her to tell another story (or even the same story because she would tell it so well).

I guess I always tried to replicate my mom’s storytelling skills. And if I think about it better, I guess I experience a lot of joy and take a lot of heart from making others laugh.

Concluding with Carl W. Buehner’s quote, people will forget what you did or say, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
