How to bring more laughter into your life
Laughter is your birthright, a natural part of life that is inborn. Infants (婴儿) begin smiling during the first weeks of life and laugh out loud within months of being born.
Smile. Smiling is the beginning of laughter, and like laughter, it’s infectious.
When you hear laughter, move toward it. Sometimes humor and laughter are private, a shared joke among a small group, but usually not. More often, people are very happy to share something funny because it gives them an opportunity to laugh again and feed off the humor you find in it.

Being clever at managing money does not necessarily mean a large bank account or getting involved in a high-risk investment. But no matter what your current situation is, you can be more financially smart in your everyday life.
Look at your monthly income.
Set up a separate savings account. Exactly how much you save will depend upon your job, your personal expenses, and your individual financial goals. Therefore, to save something each month, you will find it necessary to open a savings account.
Gradually, the fast-growing savings will definitely make your budget more comfortable. Pay off debts. You first need to work out your total debt numbers and how long it will realistically take to pay off. If you have high-interest debts like credit cards, prioritize paying it off.

| B．Buy out-of-season things for discounts. |

| F．Such loans can become very expensive if not paid off in full and on time. |
| G．You should have your overall monthly spending not overextend what you bring in. |
How to Be Productive During Difficult Times
When we have a hard time, we may turn to others for help.
You had better turn yourself into your own hero. That is the idea behind Kendra Levin’s self-help book The Hero Is You. He studied stories from many different time periods and many different cultures. He found that many stories had something in common: a hero who goes on a journey.
It’s essential to know your strengths and weaknesses. Levin explains that when we know our strengths, we can use them fully. In difficult times, we can make our lives easier by focusing on our strengths.
You might as well have small goals within a larger goal. Levin reminds us that the hero’s journey is not a one-time thing. It is a journey you are on your entire life. So, she suggests having small goals that you can measure in some way. And that's especially helpful if you have a large goal.
