Smile-always!, your best communicator, my finest symbol!=)

I have a short experience that i would like to share in my earlier blogs. This episode has brought a deep message in me. To put my old friend's words in this composition demonstrates a token of appreciation to this individual.

I reminisce about an event which took place during the last few years. A random bus passanger had conducted a perception check on my face expression when we sat next to each other. "Why aren't you smiling? It ain't nice to see," inquired by this unknown person followed by a smile. I had verbalized my narratives by saying, "A smile is redundant and grant no gain." Since then, I had acquired abundants of "Smile Always!" statements through calls, short message service (SMS) and live conversations from this friend which then subsequently had led to dyadic communication. After a short period of time, we had diverged to our own chosen paths.

The following riddle has remained silently unsolved in me throughout these times that has developed involuntary intrapersonal communication. " Would i have obtained better series of events if i have potrayed additional smiles?"

My sole philosophy, "Smile Always!" has become a symbol to me. My smile represents my remembrance of my old friend and my determination to achieve eternal happiness.

For some parts across the world, smile is an image of success and pride. For instants, the smile of a recognized Russian astronaut was marked as an indication of space exploration era.
A source in Pravda.Ru says, "Gagarin became a legend while alive. He became world-famous after the USSR’s successful launch of world’s first-ever manned spacecraft. He did not have a vestige of the superiority complex because of his fame and will always be remembered as a simple, friendly man. His sincere smile symbolizes the beginning of the space exploration era for almost 50 years, since his historical flight on April 12, 1965."
Georgy Grechko, a cosmonaut complimented, “We remember him the way that he was – a handsome, responsible, hard-working and friendly person.”

Moreover, a smile would bring various positive perceptions to majority people. Is a smile contagious to you? By giving a smile, the receiver might interprete this message as a gratitude, encouragement or care. The scene of a pair of lips breaking into a beautiful smile on an ordinary person like Julia Roberts could generate charm and attraction. Thus, a smile is capable to enhance identity needs, practical needs, social needs and physical health needs like depression.

Adding on, a smile is helpful in reserving your current feelings, ignoring a non-constructive criticism and avoiding an argument. As a consequence, an individual might perform suitably in communication competence. A smile may also indicates psychologically to your friends and associates that you are a potent listener. Furthermore, a smile aids you to conceal an awkward emotion.

Last but not least, we can see a person's characteristic through their smile. Based on their smile, we could roughly judge whether they are cheerful, gentle, shy, optimistic, grateful or proud. These personalities can be observed clearly especially in photos. Let us take a look at HELP'S cover page on Foundation in Arts booklet. I think, being selected to symbolize this department would be a great honour to students. Thus, faces of deserved pride are seen on this fine picture.

Surely throughout the presence, if someone were to ask me, "Why aren't you smiling? It ain't nice to see." Without a second hesitation, I would not speak my narratives. I would like to plant a smile on my face as an answer.

Dear friends and readers,

here comes a beautiful quote.
“If you see a friend without a smile; give him one of yours.”
