Funny Quotes – Adding Fun to Life
Aug 26th
Fun frolic and festivity is a part of life. All of us like to celebrate together and this needs a medium of communication. Communication without humor would be like a garland without flowers. It would then be a routine process of transferring information without any newness and excitement. But thankfully things are not so. Life is full of plethora of emotions like- love, anger, happiness, anger etc. One such emotion is fun and it goes without saying that fun is an important part of every domain of our life. Amidst these, the funny quotes play a major role. Be it a normal day to day conversation or a formal presentation, a pinch of humor through such phrases makes the complete atmosphere more amiable and interactive
One recent development in the use of such hilarious quotes has been on the social networking sites where people put random thoughts, messages and quotes on public forums like Orkut, Facebook and Twitter. This has been a recent method to catch attention of their friends and acquaintances as this way they can interact with them frequently and with ease. The variety of topics they post on such forums varies but humor is always one of the most favored topics for the same. People write quotes written by them or copy it from different sources, but the motive remains the same, popularity and affinity with the fellow mates. And this successfully works for a majority of people because everyone likes fun and enjoyment irrespective of their color, nationality or any other parameter. This is because other things like choice of music, eating habits or dressing sense may vary from person to person or from region to region but a taste for fun never changes. Almost everyone understands this form of communication and also enjoy it at the same time
Funny quotes can be made for any topic on earth ranging from serious issues like politics and love to trivial every day issues like classroom or cooking. It depends on the sense of humor of the person to extract out the fun of ordinary moments. There are a few exceptionally gifted people who can make up funny phrases from every situation of life. Such are the kind of people who brighten up the lives of everyone around them and spread happiness around
Sometimes these funny quotes are also used to spread serious messages to the vast audience from diverse background because humor appeals to all. This helps people spread the message quite easily. It has also been increasingly used for social welfare and for business purposes. One of the most evident examples of this is the use of humorous sayings in print and outdoor advertisements and also in television commercials. Everyone, be it kids or adults like such advertisements and remember it for a longer period of time which translates into the success of the brand. This formula has been used for ages and is still effective and successful. Such quotes are used in taglines too so that people remember them. As a result of this connection, people also tend to use these quotes in normal everyday conversation which also helps people increase the brand recall
People also use such quotes in greetings and messages to people they care about. They do so to bring a smile on their faces
We can say that funny quotes add that spice to life which helps break the monotony of life and also brings people close to each other by sharing the smiles and laughter together with each other. This helps them build a bond among each other which is built on the base of smiles and laughter. This strong foundation helps relationships to bloom and also create happy memories from them
This tool is used by all for a variety of purposes; right from a normal human being to great authors like George Eliot. Big literary geniuses have said intelligent things in the most humorous way and there lies their skill. This is a very trivial thing but it has so intrinsically meshed with our life that we cannot separate it. They are now such an important part of life that we cannot imagine life without it
Why Being Happy Can Make You Miserable
Aug 26th
Everyone wants to be happy right? There is always a certain condition that once met will supply eternal happiness. “When I buy that house, when I meet my soul mate, when I get that raise.” You get the idea. Yes getting those things will provide you a level of joy and in most cases that joy will subside once again putting you on the trail in search of happiness. The old saying is “happiness is not a destination it is a journey.” Well guess what? That is not true. Happiness is a destination and sometimes the journey towards it is filled with something less than joy. But in striving toward your goal you are living with the “juice” of passion in the form of commitment toward your goal. It is this passion that makes the journey a memorable one and the obtainment of your desire even that much more sweeter, of course until the high wears off. But let us pretend for a moment that you finally acquire everything you ever wanted and are now totally contented.
You now have no need for drive, passion and commitment. You are simply enjoying all the fruits of your labor. How long before you begin to feel a rigor mortis in your soul? How long before your complete bliss turns to a complete boredom? You see we cannot be happy. It would kill us. Now you ask; are we supposed to be unhappy? The answer is yes but to a degree.
We should be both happy and unhappy, striking a balance between the two. Happy for what we have accomplished yet feeling the adrenalin of going for more. We should not become intoxicated in our happiness but should not ignore it in a blind pursuit like a hamster on a wheel. We should attack each day and the challenge of our dreams yet still revel in what we have. Balance. Like a gymnast on a beam, going to one side or the other will end in a fall but balance will get you to your goal. Happiness and the objects that will bring it to you are worthy goals and yes they will make you happy. But if you do nothing else after that you will slowly, like rust, become a miserable person indeed. So in closing I urge you to get unhappy. Get that passion and drive toward another goal and when you get it be happy… but not to long.
