Chapter 89 "Laugh" to turn crisis into solution

In the Qin Dynasty, there was a famous humorous character Youzhan.Once, Qin Shihuang wanted to expand the imperial garden on a large scale and raise more rare birds and animals for his own hunting and enjoyment.This is a waste of money and people, but none of the ministers dared to risk their lives to stop Qin Shihuang. At this time Youzhan stepped forward, and he said to Qin Shihuang: "Okay, this idea is very good. If you raise more rare birds and animals, the enemy will not dare to come. Even if the enemy comes from the east, order the elk to push them back with its horns." Enough." Qin Shihuang couldn't help laughing, and made an exception and withdrew his order.

Youzhan was able to persuade Qin Shihuang successfully because he used the power of humor.His words seem to agree with the emperor's idea, but the actual meaning is that if things are done according to the emperor's idea, the national power will be empty, and the enemy will take the opportunity to attack, and the elk has no ability to drive them back with its horns. Then, the emperor It's not worth it for you to waste money and people like this.Such a humorous way of handling saved himself and persuaded Qin Shihuang, who was "watching for nothing". The example of Qin Shihuang may be too far away from us. Let us cite the story of Gary, a famous western police officer, to see how he solved difficult problems in a humorous way.

Gary is a very humorous police officer. No matter what major case he encounters, he can always laugh it off and solve the problem easily. Take for example one afternoon.There was a dispute between three women over a trivial matter, and the three came to the police station in a row, and the roof of the police station was almost lifted by your words and my words.Once the woman's chatterbox was opened, even the director had no chance to intervene.At this time, Gary said a word lightly: "The oldest one among you, please speak first!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the room.

Gary's intelligence is not only that, he also used humor to successfully rescue a man who was trying to jump off a building. The situation was very urgent at that time. The man was standing on the windowsill of a 52-story building, and he might jump down at any time.Downstairs was crowded with crowds of onlookers, including police officers, doctors and reporters.The man who wanted to commit suicide yelled sternly: "Don't come here! Anyone who wants to take a step closer, I will jump off!" Gary brought a doctor forward, he only said one word, and the man went downstairs silently: "I didn't come to persuade you, this doctor asked me to ask you, you die Would you like to donate the body to the hospital in the future?"

Another time, Gary accidentally saw two young priests speeding along a small road on a bicycle. How could a priest disobey the traffic rules?Gary hurriedly got off the car to stop them, and asked, "Don't you think it's dangerous to ride like this?" The priests said confidently, "It doesn't matter, God is with us." After hearing this, Gary smiled and said, "In this case, instead of issuing you a ticket for speeding, I should fine you $80, because the law stipulates that three people cannot ride a bicycle together." The priest had to obediently pay the fine.

Humor also became Gary's effective weapon in dealing with the riots. On a Saturday afternoon, several people were giving a speech at a downtown intersection: "Today's politics sucks, we should set fire to the House of Representatives and the Senate!" Although the fierce speech could not pose any real threat to the Senate and the House of Representatives, it attracted more and more pedestrians, blocked the intersection and seriously affected the traffic. When the police arrived, the traffic in the city was paralyzed, and Gary yelled: "From now on, those who agree to burn the Senate stand to the left, and those who agree to burn the House of Representatives stand to the right."

With a sound of "wow", the crowd suddenly divided into left and right sides, and the road in the middle suddenly opened up. The clever Gary once again used humor to defuse the crisis and calm down the rioting crowd.It can be seen that the power of using humor to solve difficult problems is infinite. 1. To see whether the other party has a sense of humor, an audience without a sense of humor, your humor will not be effective. 2. Let humor act as a "firefighter", which can not only alleviate the fire, but also show the superior wisdom of the firefighters. 3. Humor is sometimes a sign of humility.People who know how to humor themselves have always been masters.

4. Before using humor, you have to be humorous first.
