1) Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward. Have you ever been so frustrated with your day that you wanted to curl up in a ball and cry? I doubt anyone can honestly say, "No", to that question because we've all been there, but why not laugh instead?
应对挫折和疲惫有哭有笑反应各异，我喜欢笑，因为笑过后至少不用清理自己。你曾在失望至极的那一天很想哭作一团吧？我相信大家都会诚实地回答这个问题“是”，因为我们都有过这样的遭遇，可是为何不以笑来取而代之呢?
2) Laughter is a powerful (and free!) medicine that you're not taking enough of.

Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it. All of life's junk—break-ups, family drama, relationship problems, you name it—seem worse while we’re dealing with them in real-time. Keep the events of every day in perspective by asking yourself the question, "Is this really a big deal in the grand scheme of things?" If the source of stress isn’t something you'll remember next week/month/year, lighten up. Search for the humor or irony in the situation and laugh it off. Smile (because you deserve to be happy)!
幽默可以软化生活上所遭遇到的最严重的打击。无论多么痛苦的遭遇，一旦诉诸于笑的神奇力量，你就可以坚持下来。生活中所有不顺心的事——情侣分手、家庭问题、情感问题，这些我们生活中总要处理的不幸遭遇。坚持每天问自己对这个问题的态度和看法：“真的就是一件非常了不得的大事吗？”如果这份压力在下周、下个月、明年你就不记得了，那就让自己轻松起来。以幽默或讽刺的方式一笑了之。笑，你值得拥有！
