I wonder how easy it is to smile when you aren't really happy...
Well the reason behind this posting is that everyday when I get down at Metro station ,to drop my sweet daughter, I always see a cheerful young man distributing free morning newspapers to every passerby, with a wonderful smile and a "goed Morgen!" (which means good morning), even though all are strangers to him.
I don't know the amount he gets for his job, but definitely he's not paid for his smile, coz I see his colleagues standing just beside him with pile of papers in their hands waving at the people, without any expressions! Be it a rainy , or a windy, snowy or a gloomy day, or for that matter any other day when he is sick or is in trouble, (of course every human being is not happy always) you can still see him with the same impressive smile .
All of us might be having ups and downs in life, or going through a very tough time, but it hardly takes a second of ur's, to just smile at a person you know. It's not that just by smiling all ur worries are gone, but definitely they are not doubled. Infact u may get diverted from the problems atleast for a short while, which enables you to think from fresh, where who knows you might get an optimum solution to ur problem!
I atleast started replying "nee dank jou" (which means "no thanks") to him, coz I can't read Dutch, with a "smile"...
SO enjoy your day with a beautiful smile, which might brighten up somebodies soul and for sure makes you beautiful within.
