Lean Quote: Keep Your Sense of Humor

On Fridays I will post a Lean related Quote. Throughout our lifetimes many people touch our lives and leave us with words of wisdom. These can both be a source of new learning and also a point to pause and reflect upon lessons we have learned. Within Lean active learning is an important aspect on this journey because without learning we can not improve.

“Enjoy yourself. If you can’t enjoy yourself, enjoy somebody else.” — Jack Schaefer
“Enjoy
yourself. If you can’t enjoy yourself, enjoy somebody else.” Jack Schaefer
You’ve hear
the line: “They said cheer up, things could get worse. So I cheered up and,
sure enough, things got worse.” An upbeat attitude and good sense of humor
won’t keep you from getting hit by trouble, but they’ll help you handle it if
you do get hit.

For years
Reader’s Digest has been saying it: “Laughter is the best medicine.”
Psychological and medical research solidly confirm this – humor is good
therapy. It helps you keep things in perspective, and that’s important right
now.

Change
usually offers plenty of reasons to be upset, worried, and confused. You can
laugh at the craziness of it all, or you could choose to cry. Either one would
be an understandable emotional reaction to the situation.

Crying may be
cleansing, but humor is healing. So choose laughter. It also helps keep you
from blowing all the aggravations out of proportion.
