17 People Who Aren’t Afraid of Some Self-irony Every Now and Then

It takes plenty of humor and strength of mind to be able to laugh at our own mistakes or misfortunes. After all, unpleasant events are inevitable in life, and the only thing we can control is our own reaction when they happen. And we’d only be winning if we choose to shed tears of laughter instead of tears of sorrow.

At Now I’ve Seen Everything we believe that humor is the best answer to life’s hurdles. And here are 17 people who couldn’t agree more.
