The smile epidemic

---------------------------------------------------------
- Bruno Gideon

When we smile to ourselves, even while talking on the phone, our energy changes. Our voice becomes friendlier and our mood becomes more positive. Sometimes it takes an effort to smile, but it is well worth it – not only for us but also for others, whether they can see us or not.

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
– Phyllis Diller

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
– Mark Twain

The happiest people seem to be those who have no particular reason for being happy except that they are so.
– W.R. Inge

Smiling is infectious but causes ease rather than disease. Once you have caught it, it quickly spreads to others, putting everyone in a positive mood. I challenge you to try the smile experiment. The next time you meet a person with a grumpy expression, smile. When you’re walking, jogging, or lifting weights, smile. When you’re talking on the phone, smile. You’ll see: you will cause an epidemic of smiling.

Right now, do you have a smile on your face?
