Any dealing with the human capital is an obligation to deal with emotions. Emotions volumes cannot be measured precisely, contrary to cognitive or physical volumes. The reason is that emotions expand all the time. It gives them their unique attribute: The human ability to be empathic.

Large part of the business continuity, from the morning meetings through the motivation papers and finally with the private learning in the evening, is dedicated to practice on human resources. The amount of humor in it is small compared to ordinary life. While daily life is a continuous effort for laugher, business life is a cooperated effort for making life more serious.

There is nothing better then the sense of humor, the best known therapy for the soul, for the illumination of the human factor. Humor is derived directly from an overloaded mind which seeks to facilitate the feelings it faces with others.

The definition of humor is: Emotions made precise.

Every business negotiation is also a transaction of emotions. These are accurate emotions, purified through the long bargaining process. After a deal is closed, there is a mutual sense of emotional relief between the negotiating sides. When this sense of relief fades away, It create a by product in the form of a lightness of the spirit, a sense of humor.

The precision of humor makes it suitable for the businessmen training. There is a use for humor in all aspects of business communication. But Business fun is not as simple as it looks like.
