THE KEYS TO SUCCESS IS HAVING A GOOD SENSE OF AUSSIE HUMOUR!!!
When I migrated to this amazing country one of the most appealing things of the Aussie culture (besides so many other beautiful things) was its sense of humor. In business leadership, political leadership, communities and everyday life the Australian humor is one of the best around the world.
Australian humor has a long history that can be traced back to our origins as convict colonies. It is therefore no surprise that a national sense of humor quickly developed that responded to those conditions. This unique sense of humor is recognised (although maybe not always understood) the world over as being distinctly Australian. Our humor is dry, full of extremes, anti-authoritarian, self-mocking and ironic. In times of adversity (bush fires, flood, hail storm etc) this is one of the keys to success that has rebuilt so many families, communities and businesses. Aussie humor has really formed the foundation of the Aussie culture and its entrepreneurship.
Although I love so many comedians, Dave Hughes is one the best: ENJOY!!!!
Australians can have a very black sense of humour. While in many cultures it is considered poor taste to find humour in difficult circumstances, Australians tend to look for this lighter side. This is perhaps our strongest reference to our brutal past, where humour was a means of coping with a bad situation. A (perhaps unintentional) example of this is the naming of the Harold Holt Memorial Swimming Pool in Melbourne after a Prime Minister who disappeared whilst swimming in the ocean in 1967.
Australians also have a strong tradition of targeting themselves as objects of humor. A regular on the stand-up circuit is comedian Steady Eddy, who has cerebral palsy and uses his disability as material for his routines. One of his gags talks about how hard it is for him to find love – whenever he sees a beautiful woman, he finds himself wishing ‘ …if only she had a limp’. Australians from ethnic backgrounds also use this type of humor very effectively. Television and stage shows such as Acropolis Now and Wogs out of Work have honed this form of humor to an art, with performers mocking their ethnic backgrounds and traditions. This is probably one of the reasons why many achieve success. It is one of the characteristics of being a successful entrepreneur.
