The power of smile

Never fail to appreciate the power of smile. At one time, I was very mad while walking down the corridor when suddenly I was bumped by someone whom who made me more mad as hell. I was about to shout at him and gave him a very angry look when suddenly he say sorry with such a big and attractive smile plus the factor that he was actually a good looking man. I realized then that when that happens it doesn’t matter if I was hurt and very mad. What mattered most was the fact that there he was standing in front of me and with all the broad smile ease all those anger. Never underestimate the power of smile. A smile is one of the most powerful tools of human behavior.

“A smile costs nothing but gives much,” someone once wrote. “It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but memory of it sometimes last forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile as much as he who has more to give.” “Smile and others will smile back. Smile to show how transparent and how candid you are. Smile if you have nothing to say or your total indifference to others. Let this emptiness, this profound indifference shine out spontaneously in your smile.”
But more often than that, people stop smiling. It seems that they are carrying the whole problem of the world. There are lots of reasons but those reasons are not enough to let yourself not to smile. One poet says, “If at times you feel you want to cry and life seems such a trial. Above the clouds there’s a bright blue sky, so make your tears a smile. As you travel on life’s way with its many ups and downs, remember its quite true to say one smile is worth a dozen frowns. Among the world’s expensive things, a smile is very cheap. And when you give a smile away, you get one back to keep. Happiness comes at times to all but sadness comes unbidden and sometimes a few tears must fall among the laughter hidden. So when friends have sadness on their face and troubles round them piled, the world will seem a better place and all because you smiled.”

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all days.
A poet puts it more briefly. “Smiling is infectious; you can catch it like flu.”
Someone smiled at me today and I started smiling too.
