~*Keep Smiling Dear*~

"Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu.When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too."
~~ Karen McLendon-Laumann

Like a flower with a pleasant scent, your smile can draw people close enough to see inside you. That's Smile Power. A smile has the power to radiate the qualities that make you beautiful on the inside - kindness, friendship, honesty, respect, patience, and self-control.

Give smiles away like flowers. Let your smile be an invitation for others to get to know the great person behind the smile. Then let people see that your smile doesn't stop at your mouth. It goes all the way to your heart.

Be like a flower. Let your Smile Power bloom!

Smiling is indeed important in our everyday life, both in our personal lives as well as within the workplace.

 Dale Carnegie notes that "the expression one wears on one's face is far more important than the clothes one wears on one's back."

To begin, a smile is one of the most obvious and effective methods of non-verbal communication. It is one of the first things someone will notice about you. A smile, both physically as well as subconsciously, transmits the message, 'I'm glad you're here and that I'm happy to see you.'

Smiling has implications, both in our personal as well as our business relationships. Smiling overcomes barriers and open doors for people. A sincere smile is a message of goodwill, and is considered a sign of hospitality and confidence when dealing with a friend or a business associate.

What is the best way to walk into a crowded room by yourself? The answer is simple: take something very important with you - a smile.


Wearing a smile when you are among strangers is the best way to invite them to get to know you. A smile sends a message that you are friendly and easy to like. It tells people that you have a positive outlook and that you are smiling and attractive on the inside. Your face is the first thing people look at when they meet you for the first time, so why not let it advertise what a great person you are? Why not turn on your Smile Power?

Now let's talk about using Smile Power in a room full of strangers. Do you know how to mingle? It's really not that hard, especially if the first thing that people see is a smile on your face. Look around the room until you see a group of people who look interesting - looking for other smiles is a good place to start. When you spot a group of friendly looking people, go up to them and say, "Hi." Then tell them your name. You may want to ask a question, such as, "I'm new to this place. What should I do to be a part of what's happening here?" People love to give advice, so you will give them a chance to be friendly toward you if you ask a question like this.


If you find that this group is unfriendly or doesn't share your interests, tell them it was nice meeting them and move on. Sooner or later you'll find people whom you want to be around and who will welcome you to their group. The secret is letting your Smile Power shine through.

- Remember, happiness is frequently a choice. Abraham Lincoln once noted that "most fokes are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." We can choose to be happy or miserable. Do choose happiness to fill your life.

The value of a smile is priceless. It can't be bought, begged or borrowed.

It costs nothing to give, but is the most sincere gift that one might be able to give to another. A smile brings rest to the weary, and is the best antidote for discouragement. It brings sunshine to the sad and hope to the hopeless.

A smile is infectious. Start infecting people and winning friends with your smile today.
