Determine
YOUR
HUMOUR QUOTIENT

“A sense of humor is part of the
art of leadership, of getting along
with people, of getting things
done.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower

Humour is like a dose of
medicine.

Humour is like changing a dirty nappy, it
doesn’t permanently solve the problem,
but it sure as makes any difficult
situation more tolerable.

Humour makes us laugh and we all
enjoy a good laugh, it revives a tired
mind and it acts like a massage for our
brain.

In the best case using humour will make
you more productive, in the worst
case, you’ll have a bad joke to take
home to your friends.

But you don’t have to be a
comedian to do it.
