Trumpsmoked heavily. He got lung cancer when he was sixty years old. He only had sixmonths to live. His chance for recovery was 1 in 500. He lived in BaldwinStreet, New Zealand, a very special street in the world. What he did withcancer was also special.
He couldsee the worry, depression and anger in his life. He wondered, "If illnesscan be caused by negativity (消极性), can wellness be created by positivity?"
He decidedto make an experiment of himself. Laughing was one of the most positiveactivities he knew. He watched all the funny movies he could find. He readfunny stories. He enjoyed talk shows and cross talks. He asked his friends tocall him whenever they said, heard or did something funny. And he also toldjokes to his friends and his family. He even built a club called "Laughand life".
At first,his pain was so great that he could not sleep. Then, he found laughing for10minutes could relieve (减轻)the pain for several hours so he could sleep.
He fullyrecovered from his illness and lived another 20 happy and healthy years in theend. He thought his success was because of the love of his family and friends,and laughing.
So, if youlike laughing, do it as often as you can in your life. If you don't likelaughing, then take your medicine—laugh anyway.
