LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE

by Richard Quek

Norman Cousins is a man who laughed his way from
sickness to complete health. He had a terminal illness
which the doctors gave him a one-in-five-hundred chance
of making a full recovery. Norman Cousins refused to
accept the doctors opinion and decides to take matters
into his own hand. Laughter was one tool Cousins used
in a conscious effort to mobilize his will to live and
to succeed. He spend most of his time immersed in
films, television programs, and books that made him
laugh. He eventually recovered completely and wrote a
book entitled, “Anatomy of an Illness”.

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES

The above story illustrates the importance of laughter,
smiling, having fun and focusing on the positive side
of things and circumstances. Our physiology can have a
big impact on our physical and mental well being and
also our emotion. Movement creates our emotion or state
of mind. If we approach our work with fun, then we are
not only going to enjoy it but we are surely going to
be more successful. We are also going to make more
friends and keep our body and mind healthy!

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE

"The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can
envision the fact that you can do something, you can do
it – as long as you really believe one hundred
percent."
