He wrote, “Something more about laughter that he taught me: Laughter is precisely the soul of all existence, the instant you lose your ability to laugh or are unable to find a pathway to bring the joy of laughter to your flow of life, you then suddenly have become ‘serious’ and by serious what I mean to say is that you have perchance in that moment have started to take yourself seriously. Your job is not to succeed, but to live, whatever the wind brings to you. So stop trying to achieve and start trying to celebrate the joy of what you love doing.”
