that people with a sense of humour do better in their jobs, compared with those who have little or
no sense of humour. In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour
do better.
The survey went on to point out that the results suggested that a sense of humour may help
lighthearted employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, what"s more, it may push them up
the corporate ladder past their humourless colleagues. Why? It seems that those with a sense of
humour are better communicators and better team players.
Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive. In fact, a researcher at California
State University found that humour could help employees release tension.
Research done by psychologist Dr. Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed
that humour helps us think. When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel angry
or depressed. According to Dr. Trice"s research,sparing time to laugh can help us get rid of negative
feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.
If humour is really so important, then why don"t we use it more often on the job? Most likely,
the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace.
However,it is important to realize that some humour is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is
often used at the wrong time.

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. 3 You"re very stubborn, but you aren"t very ambitious. You usually live for today but not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time. If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person.
