It is undeniable that people always want to increase their life qualities. There are many things that can help people to make their life more valuable such as knowledge and skills. Besides those things, many people also argue that a good sense of humor is also important in our life. Personally, I agree with the statement that a good sense of humor is one of the most important human qualities. A good sense of humor can help a person to have better relationship with other people and help a person to get a better career.

First of all, a good sense of humor can help a person to have better relationship with other people. Why? A person who has a good sense of humor and can make other people feel funny and happy is usually easy to get friends. He will be welcome in every place because he can use his ability of triggering other people to get laugh, for example by telling funny stories or jokes, as ice-breaking to start conversation with new friends whom he meets. If he can get friends easily everywhere and in any occasions, he will get many friends and will have a good relationship with many people.

In addition, having a good relationship, a person who has a good sense of humor will also have a strong and beneficial network. This good network will help him to succeed in his career. For example, for a person who is still looking for a job, he can ask his friend in his network who has had a job to give job vacancies information or to give him a job. Also, for a person who has a job in a company or in a government office, a good network will be very useful for him to get promotion because it is commonly known that sometime promotion is usually granted to an employee who is known by and has a good connection with the top management besides his good performance.

To sum up, a good sense of humor is one of the most essential human qualities because a person who has this ability will usually have a good relationship with other people that will be very helpful for his career.
