【参考范文】
Humor has become one of the most attractive characteristics which a successful person must have nowadays.Not only because it can bring laughter and happiness to people，but also because it shows a man's ability.A sense of humor，God's greatest gift to mankind，is universally considered the most valuable personality.A person without humor is just like a spring without flowers，or like a dish without seasoning.In a sense，your personality lies in your sense of humor.
However，not everyone has an innate sense of humor.A sense of humor is usually acquired in relation to others.One must have an open mind and the ability to deal with unpleasant events and people so that he can develop a sense of humor.Humor also requires a broad spectrum of knowledge and optimistic thinking.
