A Smile

From our Motiv8ing Ideas Archive

There are hundreds of languages in the world, and a smile speaks them all.

When you smile at someone, 9 times out of 10 the other person will smile back, and you've made two people's days brighter and better.

They say it takes 26 muscles to smile and 62 muscles to frown!

"A smile cures the wounding of a frown."
William Shakespeare

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

Children smile on average 400 times a day; adults smile on average 15 times a day. Let's change that!

"Thinking a smile all the time
will keep your face youthful."
Frank Gelett Burgess

Og Mandino, a homeless man who became an inspirational writer, wrote "Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail."

Let's welcome every morning this month - and the rest of our lives - with a smile!

"Smile - it's the second best thing one can do with one's lips."
