So many people under estimate the power and importance of a smile, that simple little facial expression characterized by an upward curving of the corners ofthe mouth.
A smile has many meanings: pleasure, friendliness, welcome, amusement, and many more; and it is part of a universal body language that doesn’t need any extrainter pretation.
Plus a smile, with all its simplicity and beauty, can be a very important factor in many aspects of our lives:
You fall in love with a new country you visit because its people greet you with a welcoming smile everywhere you go; other countries you just don’t like even though they might have more history, nature, entertainment and what not because their people don’t seem so friendly or accepting.
You feel like buying from a certain store when the vendor welcomes you in with asmile, sometimes even if you wouldn’t initially have bought anything; and in other stores, even though they have exactly what you need or better, you decide to walk away because the vendor doesn’t look welcoming at all.
You want to give a waiter a good tip when he serves you with a smile, even if the food turns out not that good; on the other hand, sometimes you’ll have some of the best food ever, but you won’t feel like giving the waiter a tip, even if you do, because he was grumpy.
More and more examples from our everyday life show how much a simple smile can change everything.
Forever engraved in my mind will be the smiling faces of the people of Thailand, the friendly pizza delivery boy, the welcoming supermarket vendor, the nice cashier at the bank, … etc.
It is these smiles that keep me wanting to go back, and that keep us all wanting to go back; looking at it from another view, if we break it down using business sense, a smile is one of the most effective means to generate sales and develop customer loyalty.
On top of all that, a smile is a very simple and easy thing to do, so it amazes why no one bothers to do it, it not only makes the person in front of you better, but it also makes you feel better as well, and I’m not making this up,it has been psychologically proven.
Personally, I’d like to see more smiling faces in this world; in the airports when I enter a new country, in companies, government agencies, restaurants, hotels, banks,everywhere; and I think it is up to governments to campaign about this, and even make it obligatory in certain important places like airports, hospitals,hotels … etc.
Let’sall simply smile.
很多人低估了微笑的力量和重要性,微笑是一种简单的面部表情,其特征是嘴角向上弯曲。
微笑有很多含义:快乐、友好、欢迎、娱乐等等;
它是一种不需要任何额外解释的通用肢体语言的一部分。
再加上一个微笑,它的简单和美丽,可以是一个非常重要的因素在我们生活的许多方面:
你爱上了一个你去过的新国家,因为无论你走到哪里,这个国家的人民都用欢迎的微笑欢迎你;
其他国家你就是不喜欢,即使他们可能有更多的历史,自然,娱乐等等,因为他们的人民似乎不那么友好或接受。
当店主微笑着欢迎你进来的时候,你会有一种想从某个商店买东西的感觉,有时即使你一开始不会买任何东西;
在其他商店,即使他们有你需要的或者更好的东西,你决定离开,因为供应商看起来一点也不欢迎你。
当服务员微笑着为你服务时,你想给他一笔可观的小费,即使饭菜不是那么好;另一方面,有时你会吃到一些有史以来最好的食物,但你不会想给服务员小费,即使你给了,因为他脾气暴躁。
从我们的日常生活中,越来越多的例子表明,一个简单的微笑可以改变一切。
永远铭刻在我脑海的是泰国人民的笑脸,友好的送披萨的男孩,热情的超市小贩,银行的收银员,等等。
正是这些微笑让我想回去,也让我们所有人都想回去;
从另一个角度看,如果我们用商业意识来分解它,微笑是产生销售和培养客户忠诚度最有效的手段之一。
最重要的是,微笑是一个非常简单和容易的事,所以对此很惊讶为什么没有人愿意这样做,它不仅使人在你面前更好,但它也会让你感觉更好,我不做这个,心理上的证明。
就我个人而言,我希望在这个世界上看到更多的笑脸;
在机场当我进入一个新的国家,在公司,政府机构,餐馆,酒店,银行,无处不在;我认为这要靠政府来宣传,甚至在机场、医院、酒店等重要场所强制推行。
让我们微笑吧。
hanksgiving, although it is an act of the verb, but it is not the only action required and, more importantly, needs to be done in good faith. easy to say that thanksgiving is gratitude, heartfelt gratitude. you know that every year in november the fourth thursday, what holiday are you? the united states are of thanksgiving. at that time each year, americans should thank god. of our high school students, we would also like to thank "god", but given our lives this is the "god" - our parents.
i like most people, from small to large the most loved themselves, most worthy of the appreciation of their natural parents is that they both in material or spiritual growth i have played a crucial role, naturally, for their such as days of my high thinking deep sea conditions are taken for granted.
i have a first-hand experience with their parents that they do not talk back, making them less angry with their parents to talk about many hearts, with their "resource sharing", the parent every day, so my "thanksgiving plan" is: let them less angry and more happy, happy at all times. do not say, the results are really marvelous!
previously, the sum of my parents for some bring frivolous unhappy much, and i always strongly insist their position, they have a tense atmosphere will be like a boil water "boiling" up, eventually causing a break up in discord. later, after careful thought, i know that are wrong and should not be as to calm, patience and a lot of parents only. so parents do not want to see me unhappy they prepare to try to implement a set of "thanksgiving program", making their parents at any time to face all broad smiles on their faces, but also repay some of my feelings of parents.
say . one night, sitting in my chair on the idea of the topic, his hands up first. happened to see a mother, she has misunderstood me, saying that does not concentrate on my homework, the. although i feel wronged, but in order to avoid a " war" in order to allow mother not angry, in order to "thanksgiving plans," the success of my "bear", did not explain, and said: "in the future, no longer can." this also because i know that mother's personality: forever for their own opinion "defense." i did not expect that, at this moment, my mind has not the past "quarrel" at the time of the burden, but also very happy and feel the feelings of gratitude are revealing. i did not expect to make is this: not long after, but mother "from warrington" - mimi's a laugh.
how kind, the scheme you good results!
in short, let the parents are pleased the method is a kind of thanksgiving. "a good start is half the success," i believe after thanksgiving again or there will be "harvest" of.
thanksgiving is a way, thanksgiving is a realm. only institute of thanksgiving, to get other people's respect and love.
Gentlemen of the Jury:
The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith.
The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer.
He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.
If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.
