Boredom or discontent is useful to me when I acknowledge it and see clearly my assumption that there's something else I would rather be doing.

Humor can make a serious difference. In the workplace, at home, in all areas of life – looking for a reason to laugh is necessary. A sense of humor helps us to get through the dull times, cope with the difficult times, enjoy the good times and manage the scary times.
