Do you smile at strangers? Do the children you encounter cause you to stop and smile? Do you smile are the opposite sex?Play a great game with yourself, spend a day and predict who will share a smile with you. You might be surprised at what you discover about people.
I think I can pretty guarantee people who don't smile at children are selfish pricks who would make shitty parents and probably shitty friends. I mean who can come across a toddler in the store full of wonder and excitement and not smile as your eyes connect. Ok the exception to my rule about being selfish pricks are teenagers...because most of them are by their very nature selfish pricks. However an adult who can come across a small child and not smile is someone I don't want to have anything to do with.
Old people are pretty much always willing to give you a smile, so I make sure to give them my best dumb grin, cause frankly I look like a bit of a goober when I smile.
A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. 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. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. ~Author UnknownSo dont be a prick, go out and smile at people! :)
