MOTIVATIOMAL TALKS.
SMILE.
A Simple Way To Make A Good First Impression
Once upon a time in Durban, one of the guests, a woman who had inherited money, was eager to make a pleasing impression on everyone. She had squandered modest fortune on sables, diamonds and pearls. But she hadn't done anything whatever about her face. It radiated sourness and selfishness. She didn't realize what everyone knows: namely, that the expression one wears one's face is far more important than the clothes one wears on one's back.
My understanding is my smile has been worth a worth million dollars. And I am probably understating the truth. For my personality, my charm, my ability to make people like me, were almost wholly responsible for my extraordinary success; and one of the most delightful factors in my personality is my captivating smile.
Actions speak louder than words: and a smile says, "I like you. You make me happy, I am glad to see you."
That is why dogs make such a hit. They are so glad to see us that they almost jump out of their skins. So, naturally, we are glad to see them.
An insincere grin? No. That doesn't fool anybody. We know it is mechanical and we resent it. I am talking about a real smile, a smile that comes from within, the kind of smile that will bring a good price in the marketplace.
Your smile is a messenger of your good will. Your smile brightens the lives of all who see It. To someone who seen dozen people frown, scowl or turn their faces away, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds. Especially when that someone is under pressure from his bosses, his customers, his teachers or parents or children, a smile can help him realize that all is hopeless---that there is joy in the world.
THE VALUE OF A SMILE AT ANYWHERE.
-It costs nothing, but creates much.
-It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give.
-It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
-It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends
-Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given.away.
