In our life, there is laughter everywhere, such as children's ringing laughter as they playing, family's harmonious laughter, happy laughter using Spring Festival and so on. Laughter is the best expression in the world, and it is also the best medicine.

A famous scientist said in his speech, "Laughter only effects 6 muscles, but crying affects 14 muscles." There is a Chinese saying, "Laughter can make you 10 years younger." Laughter can drive away pressure. When a person laughs, he dispels negative emotions and release pressure. There is a story about "a clown into a town is better than a dozen doctors". Faraday, a famous British Chemist, he was often mentally maladjusted, headache and insomnia because of the overly tense job. Later, a famous doctor examined him carefully, but he did not prescribe a prescription. When he left, he just laughed and said a British saying to Faraday, "A clown into town is better than a dozen doctors." Then he went away. Faraday thought about the words meaning and finally realized the mystery. From then on, Faraday often took time to see the funny plays, the circus and the comedy, and was often laugh happily. Such a happy mood greatly improved his health, his headache and insomnia healed. This story tells us that laughter can cure all diseases; it is good for people's health.

Laughter is not only the best medicine for body, but also the best medicine for life. A pathological change made Linda's calm life suddenly become a billow. She was found to have breast cancer. That caused the optimistic woman was worried and worried. She had put forward to stop the treatment many times, although her husband, Bob Keri, a common man, encouraged her again and again. In order to make Linda happy, he took pictures of his funny looks. These pictures not only made Linda laugh, but also made her hopeful. Linda said, "These pictures made me very happy and helped me to be positive and optimistic. If it was not that he could always make me laugh from my heart, I don't think I can alive today!" Certainly, for those who are hit by life, laughter is the best medicine for life so that we can face the wind and rain of life optimistically. We should know, to decide whether you are strong, is not calculating how many times you have gone through the wind and rain, but to see through the wind and rain, whether you still can forward without waver or not.

Laughter can also affect the people who surround you. When someone laughs and makes the whole room relaxed, other people's moods becomes happier. Laugh in good faith if someone was in trouble, and told him or her, "Every cloud has a silver lining." Your goodwill laughter can help them overcome the difficulties with the courage. People who often laugh are happy, they carry their happiness with them, at the same time, they bring happiness to others, and this kid of people is very popular. It follows that laughter can increase personal belonging and intimacy, create intimate relationships, and make people more easily integrated into the society.

"Laughter is very simple; it is the inherent ability of human. Laughter is also very complicated; it contains a lot of knowledge that people may never have heard of." Steve Wilson, an American psychologist, the founder of the "World Laugh Tour" organization, said. He has studies the laugh for many years and called for people to laugh. In my opinion, laughter is the best medicine for body, for life, and for other people. So, why don't we laugh more? Laugh more, don't complain when trouble comes. Laugh more, whether it is success or fail, we all have to face. Laugh more, consider carefully, courage to walk without stopping! I believe that if everybody laughs more, there will be more kindness and trust among the humans, the world will be more beautiful!
