SMILES

SMILES

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that s/he can get along without it and none is so poor that s/he cannot be made rich by it. 

A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business and is the counter sign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen; for it is something that is of no value to anyone unless it is given away from within. 

Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has none to give.

Dear friends have ever come across a person who did not smile at you when you gave a beautiful smile of yours? Just recollect your experiences in a mall, market, grocery or other places whom did you approach, was it a person with a smile who welcomed you are a person with a angry face? I am sure you went to the person who had a smile on his or her face. The latest trend in the business field is that they train sales girls and boys to attract customers with their smiles. So smile plays a great role in business life. So does it in one's life. A child, youth, old aged person loves to approach a person who gives a smile and is cheerful. You might have noticed in your communities, parish, offices that many do not approach a person with gloomy and angry face. 

So let's not be a person of that sort. Let's give a smile to all we meet because our smile can bring life and hope in other person's life. Remember a smile brings back a smile to you. It reflects back the same effect you cause to a person when you give it to him or her. So let's spread joy and peace with our smiles. 

- Smile and you will get dimples otherwise you will get wrinkles.
