We all know the effectiveness of good sense of humour and that it helps making conversation better and it also adds to the impression
of our personality, I recently found an abbreviation to this tool which I termed
as clownish-wit. may be a combo of good sense of humour and sarcasm. It enables
you have your hold on some stressful situation and it has capability to bring
smiles on people face. I know I am not a
joker to entertain others attitude but this won’t present you as a mere clown
but a witty; people will love this flavor of your character and so do you.
This may work as an effective weapon for you but as all other weapon it may also cause you some fatal harm. If handled casually.
Some time back I was teaching in a coaching at Nainital and there was a student who used to came late every day that obviously was the reason of my irritation, I asked her to change, I scolded her, made some sarcastic comments and even refused her to get in but all in vain, she never paid any heed on whatever I had tried to make her to be on time. One fine day when I was in happiest of my moods and was taking class, she interrupted me with, may I come in sir? Her insolence caused stress in my jaw muscle again but it was of my mood that she seemed me an atrocious kid and an innocent being, “Hey I am sorry that I start the class early every day” I ended up saying this in a pampering tone fully smiling. “Sorry Sir” she replied in more innocent tone which molt my heart even more and I made her sit in the first row that day. To my surprise she was well before time next day. Another day came with the same surprise; believe it she never came late then.
This
incident hit my mind, I pondered and pondered a lot and drew a conclusion that
it had something to do with my behavior on that particular day. I was almost
sure but wanted to test it and know more facts regarding it's real impact and side-effects. Once when I
entered an over populated restro and placed myself on a single-tabled chair,
I had just got the hold of menu card and I heard my co-customer cursing the waiter
for the delay in the service in an agitated tone and the waiter who was also
looking in the same state of mind and was trying to pass the bucks onto the peak-hour
rush. I got afraid sensing the agony of wait to follow meanwhile the same
waiter came to attend me, still agitated. I thought of testing the tool and
said “should I order dinner as well?” pretending to be worried. “As you wish
sir.” he replied totally confused. “Actually I wish for lunch only but its
peak-hour, you know na?” I asked naughtily and it worked; a genuine smile
took over the signs of irritation on his face and I smiled back to see it
working. Don’t worry sir. He assured me and my lunch was on my table earlier
than the normal time.
Some
more facts were experienced by me i.e. the friend who secures a special place
in my heart is not the one who tells me that he missed me a lot and is happy to see
me and keep in touch but the one who use some harsh sentences like, “you have
ruined my day” if meet in morning time, I am sick of tolerating you while on
conversation and Don’t show me your face again while saying bye. But I always see that smile in his
face which tells me that his day is made to meet me, he will always be there to
irritate me and his eyes says that he enjoy my company a lot, a smile never let
us alone while together and that is a connection which bound our relation in a more
stronger bond.
You
must have got to the depth of the idea. Actually regular words or sentences have
ordinary impact as there is nothing refreshing or new about them, masses are
sick of hearing them that is why the
trick help you draw their attention and earn appreciation, but you need to
be very tactful while using it, wit should be there else you would appear as
a mere clown. If you posses a good sense of hummer, it is easy for you.
Otherwise a bit of rehearsals are required, try it on to your close once after
mastering the art you can use it to your good. And believe me it will help you
starting conversations on a high note, while facing all time irritated people especially the unknown one and while asking
for favors.
I
don’t know if it has some connection with this; Winner don’t do different things,
they do them differently.
Start
doing it differently the result would definitely the different, negatively or
positively depends how successful was I to convey my message and how
successfully you got it :P
