We all have come across this phrase "Smile it increases the face value." This very sentence set me thinking about the immense value of stretching our cheeks sideways a bit, a rare catch in this present hectic, tension ridden , hurried and harried life.
They say that face is the mirror of our thoughts and it reveals all the emotions and feelings hidden deep inside. Smile adds glow to our face and grace to our personality. To express anger it is said , we stress more muscles, while to smile only a few muscles are put to work. With a charming smile we can do wonders. Viewers are put to ease with a sweet smile and they feel we are more closer to them. A mere smile even without uttering a word revelas affection , appreciation and at times, sympathy.
Some people manage at least to grin like our air hostesses. Of course the later add an artificial "namaste " too. Laughter is the best medicine , maybe because it helps ease our tension , helps unwind the bad feelings and often we forget our worries even for a short period.
A smiling face gets instant welcome. Though the person may not be of much worth otherwise but the smile makes up the difference. It creates a pleasent feeling on the smile of the onlooker. It helps the person establish a good impression. It shows the attitude of the person a willingness to lend a helping hand.
Smile has its own wonder. It enlivens the atmosphere and creates envy in the minds of the neighbours, to put the advertisement way " neighbour's envy , owner's pride" !
They say a sprightly child is an asset. We put up a smilling face in adversities, in moments of sorrow and during other tiring periods as a social obligation. Then of course we can smile away certain embarassing questions or avoid any commitments using the harmless signal.
For the salesman, this is an indispensible work tool he cannot do without it. It is his survival kit, the gift of the God he might posses. This can even be described as a bait for his daily bread!
With a flash of smile and being lively , we spread joy around . It makes the gathering scintillating. Like we score a little more mark in exam simpley because of our neat handwriting . In life too , we get more with a cheerful smile and thereby expressing an agreable face. A tremendous amout of goodwill is gained through this seemingly simple gesture.
Most important benefit of a smiling face is that it generates optimism , energy and a keen sense of belonging spontaneously. This collectively leads to togetherness.
KEEP SMILLING!
