^__^Smile anyway^__^
?Hi there, how are you all
.It has been a long time since I posted a topic here. I read this in a magazine and I liked it, so I wanted to share it with you
Here you go
.Some people smile too much, others too little, and some don’t know how to smile at all. Lorraine Chandler compares fake and genuine smiles and concludes that any smile is better that none
Has anyone ever asked you: “Hey, let’s all have a great night out. Bring the Kleenex, and we’ll have a great cry?” if the answer is yes, then frankly, you need to expand your social circle. If the answer is no, you’re in the healthy majority who believe, ‘Smile and the whole world smiles with you...cry and you cry alone.’
After all, once you pass the age of one or two, crying should not be at the top of your pastime list. Smiling, on the other hand, is something that makes everyone feel better, and is surprisingly easy when you try.
Of course, there are many types of smiles. There’s the ‘Here’s the love of my life but he doesn’t know it yet’ 100- watt smile. There’s the ‘Hey, is that big chocolate cake for me?’ smile (between 60 and 100 watts, depending on exactly how much you love chocolate), and then there’s the ‘Here’s my boss. I’d better pretend to look pleased to see him’ 40-watt smile. We’re all familiar with the ‘Gosh, I really hate this person, but she is my mother-in-law\boss\friend’s wife’ smile. That’s more of a 20-watt smile, and is closely related to the grimace.
Some people smile only when they get their pay cheques while others grin on every occasion, sometimes to such extremes that people worry about their sanity. But don’t worry if you think you smile too much, because numerous studies have shown that smiles are a sign of good health and happiness.
An American psychologist, Dacher Keltner, reviewed the lives of 100 women over a 30-year period after graduation. He found that women who had the most intense smiles in their high schools photos got married sooner, stayed married longer, and were happier in their lives than those who smiled with less intensity.
Please don’t reply till I finish
Thanks
