Laughing as Truth (Mark Twain, Soren Kierkegaard) Leadership Styles

Leadership Style is Humor and Philosophy. 

I’m no Mark Twain, but humor and philosophy were his emblematic approach to life, too.

‘Listening As Art’ and is the first truth of every comedian.  If a person has learned the value of genuinely listening to oneself, how could one not laugh?  At least this is what Soren Kierkegaard believed after reviewing his broken heart

 “When I was young, I forgot how to laugh in the Cave of Trophonius; when I was older, I opened my eyes and beheld reality, at which I began to laugh, and since then, I have not stopped laughing. I saw that the meaning of life was to secure a livelihood, and attain a high position; that love’s rich dream was marriage with an heiress; that friendship’s blessing was help in financial difficulties; that wisdom was what the majority assumed it to be; that enthusiasm consisted in making a speech; that piety consisted in going to communion once a year. This I saw, and I laughed.”

― Søren Kierkegaard

In the end, laughter and gratitude join forces, and we overcome all of the BS life can throw our way. 

Laughter is the one thing that life, no matter how hard it’s been on any of us, that can’t be taken away. 

As Soren said, “To have faith is to LOSE your mind and to WIN God.” 

“The only intelligent tactical response to life’s horror is to laugh defiantly at it.”

All is laughter; all is dust, all is nothing, for all that is cometh from unreason—Greek lexicon.

Never take yourself too seriously.
