A Little Humour

The boss of a listed company walked up the stage to deliver his speech.

Boss : 他们说我很 hao4 lian4 。 其实他们都错了。
Then he paused. His expression became a little tensed.
The floor of hundreds of guests were quietened. They were waiting eagerly for him to explain why or how he is not hao4 lian4 (arrogant/boastful).

The boss continued..
Boss (he exclaimed) : 其实我是 xi2 beh3 hao4 lian4 ah!
(xi2 beh3 hao4 lian4 = very arrogant/boastful)

The whole floor burst out laughing.
I would have laughed out loud too, if I were to be present.

I don't know the boss. I was told of the tale by one who was amongst the floor listening to that speech and had a good time laughing.

I just know that the boss has a very humble beginning and has quite an interesting sense of humour.

I have noted that the one who had just shared with me the tale remembers nothing about the boss's speech, except for that pretty humourous beginning.

I think everyone likes a bit of humour here and there.

Am I too boring (i.e. not humourous enough)?
I try not to be too boring.
But how much difference can a boring person make? Erps..
I can only continue trying ... :p

Okay, at times the students were laughing hard during my lessons.
Does that mean they only remember the laughing and not the content I'd just shared? Haha.. You can't blame me thinking this way. The recent examination results seem to suggest my "hypothesis" anyway. Mm..

有一位圣者这么说：

其实你们需要把眼光放远一点、放宽一点。
烦躁是最容易生罪过的起源。
一旦你的心烦躁无明，就很容易毁坏了你其他正确的动力。

而你们在什么时候烦躁，
相信大家现在回想一下都很清楚：
- 在你忙碌的时候；
- 在你想到未来的时候；
- 在你面临到你不会的事情的时候。
