Smile & the world smiles with you ….!

Smile now!
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
I was wondering previous night … how a smile can make a difference. I, for one, have found it helpful all my life. Making bad face dims your inner self … while a smile, a mere smile, can beam up your day …!
If we go a step further, our deen - e Islam considers smile equivalent to charity … !
These are not mere words … start experiencing it from today … a smile makes a change. As someone said, a genuine smile is an index of your happiness. So, put in a little more joy in your smile - Reach out to others and give a little more of yourself when you smile next time and the next.
You know why we usually love kids around … because their smile is genuine … life reflects from the smile
I just loved this very cutie … my friend was sitting with me and she said now thats your childhood … so I liked it even more
I was reading a very interesting anecdote the other day … thought to share it ….
Several years ago I was in a San Diego restaurant with my mother. While I paid the check, we both noticed an elderly woman waiting to be seated.As we left the restaurant, Mom asked, “Did you notice that woman with the wonderful smile?” I most certainly did. Her smile lit up the room. It was a smile to die for; one that would certainly win instant friends. It was a smile that you don’t often see in a stranger. And maybe Mom and I smiled back, I don’t remember. Mom later commented, “I wish I’d told her what a terrific smile she had.” But neither of us had. We’d both received a gift without saying thank-you.
Later, on my long drive home, I stopped at a fast-food restaurant for a quick bite. A 70ish woman waited by the condiment bar while her husband ordered. She glanced my way and smiled brightly. It was one of those smiles that broadcast, “I love life!”
I wasn’t going to let THIS opportunity pass. I was going to say SOMETHING. As I approached this woman from 30 feet away, her smile melted into a rather startled look; as if asking, “Did I do something wrong?” I walked over to her and simply said, “You have a wonderful smile!” Wow, did her face light up! And she responded with an enthusiastic, “Thank You”. My comment probably made her day, but it also made MY day. We truly exchanged gifts that afternoon.
So are you willing to make someone’s day or may be your own day today??
I found this interesting picture in Flickr … stating … Smile - You’re not alone ….!
