THIS IS WHY BEING SARCASTIC IS GOOD FOR YOU! [MUST READ]

Sarcastic people are often dismissed as sneering smart-aleck - but it pays to keep one around.

In a business environment, sarcasm can actually help people be more creative, according to Harvard Business School researchers.

In other words, the process of ‘working out’ whether someone is being sarcastic helps people to think creatively, according to Scientific American.

Harvard’s Francesca Gina says, ‘Why might verbal irony enhance creativity? Sarcasm’s challenge is that the message sounds serious but should not be taken literally.

‘One way to overcome this is through tone—as when exaggerated speech indicates the facetiousness of a message.

‘We need to think outside the box to generate and decipher ironic comments. That means sarcasm may lead to clearer, more creative thinking.’
