Dare to laugh at yourself is a sign of inner strength.

Day 549 of Focus Group of Wang Ailing No.15 Middle School (February 2020.10)

On one occasion, Dong Qing went to Xinghua to host a program, holding an umbrella in his left hand and a microphone in his right hand. He walked to the stage with a full face of spring breeze and full of energy. As he walked, he said, "Hello, Xinghua folks!" Unexpectedly, the foot slipped and the voice and ass fell to the ground almost at the same time, and the whole audience was startled by this sudden situation. When she was carried up by the staff, everyone looked at her with rapt attention and the atmosphere was very embarrassing. When she adjusted her mood and looked up, a flowery smile immediately bloomed. Dong Qing said calmly, "This is the worst weather I 15 years of hosting. I fell in Xinghua, and this fall made me remember Xinghua forever. " The audience at the scene were amused by her humorous self-mockery, and the applause from the audience thundered.

When a woman laughs at herself, she exposes her ugliness and shows a person's generosity and frankness. The courage to expose your own problems and shortcomings is actually a manifestation of your inner strength.

I think a friend Xiao Zhang had a similar experience.

Xiao Zhang, who just joined the work, came to work once and looked black. We quickly asked him what was wrong. He said, do good. Our hanging hearts are put down. Then he asked, "Tell me about the good things you have done!" Xiao Zhang told the story with a casual face. It turned out that Xiao Zhang got up a little late, afraid of being late for work, and took a shortcut to the vegetable market by bike. I tripped over a wire pulled by the side of the road. Xiao Zhang was embarrassed when he fell down, and he got up with no face, so he put on a clown with an exaggerated expression and said to the onlookers, "You should thank me for bringing you such a wonderful program this morning!" People around buying food were embarrassed, but they were amused by his embarrassment.

Self-mockery makes the speaker face up to himself easily and happily, get rid of difficulties, enhance self-confidence and self-esteem, and make the atmosphere active at the same time. This is really beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it is also our goal of practicing internal strength.
