When I smile at people on the street, I get the weirdest looks. You would think I had 3 heads or something. After a few interactions like that, I stop looking at people altogether and just pretend I am one of them. ...

I do this. I always have. I do this. I always will.
I smile at strangers every chance I get. I do it as much for myself as for them. I think a smile is infectious and even when I am feeling down and sad, I'll smile so that hopefully you...

I know the power of a smile.
I know how it feels to be walking along the street, alone and upset, only to look up and find that there's someone smiling at you.

Being a very friendly person, I smile at or say hello to nearly everyone I come into contact with. To me, it's a matter of common courtesy. Having no hidden agenda, I'm amazed at the strange looks I get when just trying to be cordial...

Smile is simple act of kindness.
It is an inexpensive gift to give and most welcomed to receive. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it.

I read a saying somewhere that said: Smile! It makes people wonder what you've been up to.

I personally believe that a smile can change someone's decision, someone's life perhaps. I don't care who they are, I mean all those people out there that I meet everyday even though I know that most of them... I meet them once in a...

I saw you. I mean, I really saw you. I wish you could know that.
It was a scalding August afternoon. Just one in a long string of hellishly hot days where you could hear and feel the soles of your shoes sticking to the...

I often smile to strangers who look like they could use or would appreciate a smile. Sure, sometimes there are people that assume I am on drugs but I am still happy to give them a smile. Otherwise, I love to share a smile and my happy...

But I find it hard to have a genuine smile unless I am already happy about something or already in the process of laughing.
And nobody like a fake smile. :l
I'd like to be one of those nice people who randomly makes people's day

This world is too cold now, people have long since forgotten what it was like to smile and bring something to the table other than scoffed expressions and aversion. What happened to people expressing themselves more freely? It's not so...

In real life, while there is someone watching, I nearly always smile. I know that someone else smiling at me can make my day, and I enjoy the thought that I might be returning the favour. I know some people just look at me like I am...

I know I'm young, but I'm not too young to know when people are just upset. Why is that? I smile at everybody because I like to make every second worthwhile. I am definitely that person who compliments ANYONE. The first thing I look for...
