Small children often laugh at the short ones or at someone who isn't dressed as well as they are. But as they
grow up, they learn not to hurt people's feelings by laughing at their problems. They learn to laugh at other
things. Most important they learn to laugh at themselves.
Suppose (假设) you're playing a game. You make a mistake and lose. Do you become angry? Or can you
laugh at yourself and hope to do better next time? Suppose you are at a special dinner. You at times spill (溅)
some food. Why keep worrying about how clumsy (笨拙) you looked? Why not laugh it off and enjoy yourself
any way? If you can, it's a good sign you've really grown up.
