Smile

A Simple Way to Make a Good First Impression

1. The expression one wears on one’s face is far more important than the clothes one wears on one’s back
2. Charles Schwab told me his smile had been worth a million dollars
3. Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, “ I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.”
4. A smile can convert a room into a pleasant and enjoyable experience
5. A heartwarming smile, a smile that comes from within
6. People who smile tend to manage, teach, and sell more effectively, and to raise happier children.
7. Encouragement is a much more effective teaching device than punishment
8. You must have a good time meeting people if you expect them to have a good time meeting you
9. As I started smiling at everyone, everyone started smiling back at me
10. I treat those who come to me with complaints and grievances in a cheerful manner
11. I smile as I listen to them and I find that adjustments are accomplished much easier
12. I have also eliminated criticism from my system. I give appreciation and praise now instead of condemnation.
13. I am now a much richer man
14. If you are alone, force yourself to whistle or hum a tune or sing. Act as if you were already happy, and that will tend to make you happy
15. Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can directly regulate the feeling which is not
16. Thus the sovereign voluntary path to cheerfulness, if our cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there
17. Happiness doesn’t depend on outward conditions. It depends on inward conditions
18. Mental Attitude is everything
19. “There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so” Shakespeare
20. Abel Lincoln once remarked that “most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be”
21. Don’t expect people to come to you. You have to go out and meet them
22. Preserve a right mental attitude – the attitude of courage, frankness and good cheer
23. To think rightly is to create
24. Carry your chin in and the crown of your head high
25. A man without a smiling face must not open a shop
26. Your smile is a messenger of your good will
27. A smile can make a person realize that all is not hopeless – that there is joy in the world
