Negativity isn't the way to go, smile more, eat some chocolate.

My lips never know my problem, they just always smile.

If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.

I have been confronted with many difficulties throughout the course of my life, and my country is going through a critical period. But I laugh often, and my laughter is contagious. When people ask me how I find the strength to laugh now, I reply that I am a professional laugher.

A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.

The path, of course, is not always smooth, and may at times this year have felt quite bumpy, but small steps can make a world of difference.
