5 Life Lessons You Can Learn From Laurel & Hardy

For today - I'm going to share with you something perhaps that you didn't know about me.

I LOVE Laurel and Hardy.  Love them.

I absolutely don't care that they are not the latest 'in' vampire teenage sensation.

They make me laugh and I mean cry with laughter. 

I always feel amazing after laughing my way through one of their films. Laughter therapy like no other. Next time you are needing a lift, try them.


Yes they are silly.  That's part of the appeal.


Yes they are 'old fashioned' and in black and white. Again, all part of the appeal.


So before I share with you one of my favourite all time clips from the 'Way Out West' Film, here are my 5 top life lessons that you can learn from Laurel and Hardy:


1/  The power of a brilliant team (at home or at work) and how the right mix of people can create pure magic.

2/  Don't underestimate the quiet one in the team / room. Stan Laurel, whilst acting the chump on-screen, was actually the comic genius behind the pair off-screen.

3/ Just as one of you is feeling superior and smug,  along comes a reminder that we can all be just as bad as each other. No-one is perfect.

4/  That putting yourself out there and risking looking a fool can actually make you more endearing to the people around you.

5/  The art of good timing - sometimes we are more effective by not saying anything at all.  Sometimes the most powerful part of our message is in the silence following our words.
