Kataria is the founder of the worldwide laughter movement. The celebration of World Laughter Day is a positive activity for world peace and is intended to build up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship through laughter. The first World Laughter Day gathering took place in Mumbai, India, on 11th January,1998.12,000 members from India and international Laughter Clubs attended it. Now there are over 5,000 Laughter Clubs worldwide on all 5 continents.
“HAPPY DEMIC” was the first World Laughter Day gathering outside India. It took place on 9th January，two years after the Mumbai gathering. In Copenhagen, Denmark, more than 10,000 people gathered at Town Hall Square. The event went into The Guinness Book of World Records. World Laughter Day is now organized on the first Sunday of May every year; hundreds of people gather worldwide on that day to laugh together.
Today, many people fear widespread international terrorism. The world has never faced so much unrest before. People are at war within themselves. Laughter is a universal language，which has the ability to unite humanity without religion. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world order. The idea may sound over ambitious(野心太大的), and maybe it is. But maybe it is not. It is our deep belief that laughter and only laughter can unite the world，building up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship.
Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the following: lower blood pressure；lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart, especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercise. So in life, when you can laugh，you should laugh loudly and with your entire body—because it’s good for you.

My kids tell me it’s unfair to play with the big children；I tell them that’s right. The playing field is never equal. Your skills and attitude play a major role in the outcome.
Unfairness is a good thing. There is more to be gained by the effort when things seem unfair. It is true that many things in the world are unfair，but unfair things usually benefit you. For example，the early bird catches the worm. It is unfair that the bird that sleeps in misses out on breakfast，but it is nice to know that if he gets up early he is sure to get the worm.
I always try to explain to my kids that complaining about how unfair the thing is will get them nowhere. Instead, make use of it and get on the other side of it. Once you do that you are in the advantage. Above all，you have to focus on gaining the unfair advantage and you have to build your inner strength. When you empower(使强大) yourself，you are gaining skills or abilities，confidence and self confidence. You should look at your place in the world. Where do you want to be financially，spiritually，emotionally，and physically You are creating your own story when you empower yourself.
You can build all the advantages that you need to live the life that you want. If you haven’t yet，you need to make a list of all the things you want to experience in your new life. This will help you focus on building the advantage so that you never have to say that it’s not fair.
When you do this, then you will be able to realize that unfairness is a good thing.
