:Some tips on smiling more



Be positive



Stop using negative language; telling yourself “don’t think of him”. Instead, think some thing like, “you can get through this”



Use ‘remember’. Tell yourself, ‘remember, you were happy before. You can be happy again’



Look up- at trees, buildings, birds, planes



Surround yourself with positive people, even if it means changing jobs



At work, hang pictures of tall upward looking things; buildings, airplanes, birds



Don’t judge others; this can make you feel negative



Take any kindness offered to you



Feel good inside when someone smiles at you



Accept compliments, acknowledge them and thank the giver



Smile from your heart

Smiling across cultures



While smiling can be great way to communicate across cultures, there are number of things to watch out for. A smile doesn’t mean the same thing everywhere in the world.



In England

It denotes happiness or a desire to please



In the United States

It is used as a greeting. Americans, perhaps because of their great dental care, are fond of big toothy smiles. Except in big cities, they’re likely to smile at strangers in lifts, in the shop, basically anywhere



In Eastern Europe, including Russia and the Czech Republic

It’s not usual to smile at people you don’t know. It is considered quite inappropriate and could signal either that you are not serious about the situation, or that you may be simpleminded



In China

People don’t smile when they are introduced, and are just as likely to smile when they are worried or embarrassed as when they are happy



In Korea

People will smile to save embarrassment



In Japan

People may smile to express happiness, anger, sadness, confusion, disappointment or even dislike. A smile can often be a way of controlling feelings, and sometimes to ‘save face’





!So, if you’re traveling abroad, don’t automatically assumer someone is smiling because he’s happy





! I hope you enjoyed it

i liked smiling around cultures topic, it seems true
unlike what i recently read in my American sociology book that smiling at people you don't know in our culture "i mean eastern or Arab culture" denoted as sexual harassment:vereymad::06: ????????

:31: That’s kind of weird you know

I haven’t heard such a thing

And if you smiled to someone you don’t know

:bigeyes: That doesn’t denote as a sexual harassment

Well, it’s wrong anyway :o

Thanks for passing by

Hope I see you more around here
