speak humor, be humorous

Chapter 15 The Power of Humor (2)
Silent records, special shells—whoever wants to be famous can do it all: get as high a title as you want; be as big an official as you want; What a rich fortune; if you want to show your blushing face, show your blushing face.Business card——Bright deception, a small piece of paper, infinite power.

Mr. Yang Handuan's "depreciation rumor" satirizes the strange phenomenon in the big pot:

Those who are over [-] years old are counted as "youth", three months of short-term training are counted as "college colleges", those with full working years are counted as "professors", and copying from books is counted as "examination papers".A leader's refusal to take bribes is considered "news", and withdrawal from occupying households is considered a "model".Poor quality is regarded as "famous and excellent", and not scolding customers is regarded as "smiling face".Singing a song is considered a "singer", sponsoring a pen is considered a "director", making up random words is considered a "poet", and putting on a false name is considered an "editor-in-chief".Two short articles are considered "writers", dubbing by others is considered "actor", wearing a hat is considered "famous", and publishing a mediocre book is considered "classic".

... Hugh Road depreciation is everywhere, it is rare to be confused and close your eyes, whether you are hello, me or him, the most delicious is a big pot of rice...

Why do people satirize and flog all kinds of unreasonable social phenomena with the humorous method of "correcting the current situation"?The main reason is that people hate it so much that it is hard to get rid of their hatred by directly criticizing or cursing, so "extreme sorrow brings joy", and there are ways to vent their emotions through laughter, cursing, ironic doggerel and other forms.

Humor teaches through laughter

Numerous practices have proved that humorous critical education is easy to be accepted amid laughter, and the effect is more obvious.When it comes to education, people tend to think of serious, unsmiling faces, a set of abstract theories that make no sense, and a group of sleepy audiences.In fact, people's understanding and impression of this kind are entirely caused by improper methods of educational work.Education, of course, is a serious matter, but this does not preclude the educated from laughing happily.Teaching through laughter is an effective method of education.

There is a humor of "a lazy teacher worships a lazy man", which is used to educate those idle prodigal sons.

A loafing prodigal son, he only hates himself for being too lazy to go home, and really wants to find a lazy shop to study.So, he asked around where there is a lazy shop.

One day, he found out that there was indeed a lazy school, so he happily went there.When he arrived at the door of the lazy shop, he used his buttocks as a face, and stepped back to enter the door.The master of Xuelaan shop yelled: "Hey, why don't you know the rules, why don't you turn your face to me!" The prodigal son still turned his back to the master and replied: "Respect the master, let the foolish: when you come, turn your back on me!" Master, you don’t need to turn around when you say goodbye.” The master was dumbfounded when he heard this.After a while, it was like waking up from a dream.The prodigal son said outside the door: "I can respect you as a teacher."

Another example is the "reconstruction of Efang Palace", which is used to criticize the level of education administrators and the low level of education.

The inspector visited a middle school, and casually asked the students, "Do you know who burned the Efang Palace?"

The student was full of panic, and said repeatedly: "I didn't burn it, I didn't burn it!"

The inspector couldn't help laughing, and accused the principal: "The students in your school have a low level of Chinese, and they actually said that he didn't burn the Efang Palace."

In a rage, the inspector wrote a letter to the Director of Education, explaining the whole story.Not long after, I received a reply from the director-general saying: "Forget it if you burn it, and allocate funds to rebuild Efang Palace."

Criticism is a weapon in the fight against various undesirable phenomena in education.If criticism is to achieve results, it must be kind to others, and it must pay attention to methods and language arts.Sometimes, a clever humorous remark can indeed outperform many bland sermons.

Then, why humorous and witty discourse can play an educational role, mainly in the following two aspects.

First of all, because everyone has self-esteem, practice has proved that it is never a good way to directly criticize someone in public. It may cause strong rebuttals from the other party and find some reasons to defend themselves; He refused to accept it, and has since accumulated resentment in his heart.In this way, the purpose of criticism is naturally not achieved.So psychologists all say with one voice: "Don't reprimand people in public." This is very reasonable.However, the humorous criticism method gives the other party face and will not make the other party feel confrontational.In addition, because the method of insinuation rather than direct speaking is adopted, the critics have a room for thinking and maneuvering, and they can more deeply understand the critics' good intentions.

A young painter found a nearby house. Before moving, he said to his friend:
"I want to give the walls of the room a nice paint job and paint some pictures on the walls."

You are better off painting the walls first and then painting them. "A friend who knows the level of this young painter persuaded him.

This friend implicitly expressed his opinion, and the young painter would naturally understand and think deeply about how to make his own paintings well.

Secondly, humor can subtly and unexpectedly connect two previously irrelevant things, making people wonder and laugh.In association, people will realize the real purpose of the speaker, and thus happily accept the speaker's opinion.
