Your Smile Will Last Longer

Your smile is stronger than "Double espresso"
Sometimes all you need is to listen to the person next to you. You may not know that person but he or she needs to vent their steam to somebody. Listen, pay attention to what they are saying then repeat a summary of what they just said to let them know that you listened to them. That’s all it takes! If you can throw in a genuine smile, then they will definitely know that you care. If you think about it, sometimes all you need when you are not in your best mood is someone to talk to. Marriage or intimate relationship is build around this belief (Ok … ok, and something else!) But mostly we need somebody to flash that delightful smile at us when we need a friendly face. A genuine smile will make the world suddenly looks colorful.
I have mentioned before my secret love with latte, but when I need a quick fix and do not have the time I usually go for espresso. Pure caffeine without the milk. The small quantity of coffee in the bottom of that single shot of espresso makes the person wake up and change his or her mood instantly. The same effect is found in listening and smiling which needs little effort from you but have tremendous effect on others. Tomorrow morning try flashing your pleasant smile to people around you and notice the result. Please let us know how good is your smile?
A beautiful piece. Few people I know have a more wining smile than yours. The trouble with me is that I often smile during meetings and I remember being pulled up for this once…
Some people wrongly mix between the genuine smile with the sarcastic smile. I am sure they will know the difference once the know you better.
Sami – I think I have the world’s largest smile just now…….my wife is pregnant after 8 years of trying.
You are right – people react differently to a cheerful smile.
Have a great week

Congratulations with a big smile for you.
I believe that the smile is the key to your relationship with your partner even when he is angry you can solve his anger with a smile.
If you could see your face when a kid just give you a smile imagine it comes from your partner it would be pleasent day.
Yes I do agree that listening is a behavior aspect. But you have added more, a further step after listening is that- make other person feel that you are listening and taking care and again give smile means you are respecting him. This bahavior will help you to get full potential from others and even other person came to you with complaint he will respect you.
Bu Ahmad, I was reading your blogs and was smiling to myself. Yes I agree that our smile will last for ever. I have been following this theory since long (you also might have noticed it). Therefore keep smiling – it costs nothing.
I HAVE FOUND LATELY THAT SMILING HAS BECOME A BURDEN TO SOME PEOLPE..TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU HAVE TO THINK TWICE BEFORE SMILING TO STRANGERS……..WHY IS THIS ?….NO IDEA??!!!…..FOR ME I JUST FEEL BETTER WHEN I SMILE ESPECIALLY WHEN I’M NOT FEELING GOOD..HAVE A NICE DAY..AND…KEEP ON SMILING…..
