Episode 16 How I Learned to Tell American Jokes

About two years ago, I wrote a blog about Why Humor is So Valued in American Culture:  WhyHumorIsSoValuedInAmerica Today I am taking the chance to thank all the awesome people who helped me along the way, to reflect on the significance and breadth of application of #ChicagoApproach, to summarizes my progress over the two years, concluded by a five-minute-talk-show in the Chicago Booth MBA'17 Graduation Celebration. --- I have always been a serious person growing up. No sense of humor what so ever. When I grew up, studying well and working hard are valued in my community. A kid is never judged whether he or she is 'Cool', or 'Fun to hang out with'. When I visited Booth in 2015, I attended classes of Prof Linda Ginzel and Prof George Wu. They say, the essence of education in Booth is "Back to Fundamentals", meaning to understand and learn every and anything from the Fundamental, usually just one or two rules for each domain. #ChicagoApproach Fortun
