Laughter is the Best Medicine Speech – 4

"Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and My Dear Fellow Students – Warm Greetings to one and all!

I, Akanksha Gaur from Standard VIII (B), am going to deliver a speech today on the topic called ‘Laughter is the Best Medicine’. There is a substantial reason behind choosing this topic and the reason is that I come across many sad faces around – whereas many are sad due to some misery and/or difficulties in life; some are sad out of no reason. I want to put it across to you all very loud and clear that we live only once and so let’s live it with happiness and the love of others. Just the way sadness is contagious, laughter is equally contagious too. What we give to others ultimately comes back to us. So why do we not only give doses of laughter and joy to others so that we can expect the same in return?

It is rightly said that laughter is the best medicine, but medicine here doesn’t literally mean medicine, but as something that has medicinal properties. It doesn’t heal your illness, but will make you forget your challenging conditions in life for some time and ease your mind. Laughter has the ability to give relaxation to your whole body and mind and put it at rest. You can of course bring down the stress level drastically and reenergize yourself. In other words, it boosts the level of your energy and enables you to become more focused in life with a drive of fresh vigor and enthusiasm.

But unfortunately, in the present world of today people have forgotten laughter and the real joy in togetherness. As almost everyone is running after money and status, there is hardly anytime with people to enjoy small moments in life and make the most of the passing moment. The best part is that laughter doesn’t have any adverse effects and it is contagious, i.e. it spreads around even before you realize it. Since it is for free, you can choose to laugh often and smile wide as you can derive its unlimited benefits, such as strengthening your immune system, bringing in a lot more positivity, boosting your creative energy as well as memory level and making your soul feel fresher and lighter.

Other than all these benefits, one major advantage is that it helps ward off diseases and acting as the best therapeutic technique to combat medical conditions. Study says that people who laugh often remain healthier and it is easier for them to get better faster when diagnosed with any chronic illness. In short, laughter is the best medicine which cannot be replaced by any other thing. So do not hesitate to laugh often no matter how tough the situation may become. If you can laugh out loud irrespective of any problem in life, you will be able to overcome any problem in life and solve it sooner or later. This is all I have to say!

Thank you so much for listening to me patiently.
