Trump
smoked heavily. He got lung cancer when he was sixty years old. He only had six
months to live. His chance for recovery was 1 in 500. He lived in Baldwin Street,
in New Zealand, a very special street in the world. What he did with cancer was
also special.
He could
see the worry, depression and anger in his life. He wondered. “If illness can be
caused by negativity(消极性), can wellness be created by
positivity? ”
He decided
to make an experiment of himself. Laughing was one of the most positive activities
he knew. He watched all the funny movies he could find. He read funny stories. He
enjoyed talk shows and cross talks. He asked his friends to call him whenever they
said, heard or did something funny. And he also told jokes to his friends and his
family. He even built a club called “Laugh and life”.
At first,
his pain was so great that he could not sleep. Then, he found laughing for 10 minutes
could relieve the pain(减轻疼痛)for several hours so he could
sleep.
He fully
recovered from his illness and lived another 20 happy and healthy years in the end.
He thought his success was because of the love of his family and friends, and laughing.
So, if
you like laughing, do it as often as you can in your life. If you don't like laughing,
then take your medicine—laugh anyway.
