I agree, most days I find amusing clips on Clipmarks, and email them to my colleagues. It helps to alleviate stress and builds morale.

Thanks Sohil.

The daily challenges which contribute to our increasing stress levels continually drain us of energy. Humour binds us together, lightens our burdens and helps us keep everything in perspective</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.canadaone.com/ezine/oct06/humour_at_work.html">Tom Peters, a business guru who is always one step ahead in business thinking, says this about the importance of humour at work: "The number one premise of business is that it need not be boring or dull.
