started talking to you while waiting in line at the check-out stands? Either way, it takes a friendly gesture such
as a smile to warm up a person and open up a conversation. There is a cliché that life is about gives
and takes. You have to give a smile to
receive a smile! A smile is a strong
unspoken language to express happiness, human connection, friendship, and
love.

are open to connect. Why not smile more
and bring more happiness to your life!

bonding through smiling, there is also a physiological response occurred while
you smile. Your body releases a surplus
of good chemicals to keep your mind positive, balance, and healthy while reduce
amounts of stress hormones to prevent your body aging and fatigue.
