Role of Smile in Personality Development

Smile on your face is enough to change your surroundings. Smiling face is like sunshine. It is a wonderful feeling to be greeted by a complete stranger with a friendly smile. It is a nice feeling to smile and be smiled at. Smile does wonders in our real lives. A smile can set you free from bonds like sorrows and worries. Smiling face plays a vital role in the enhancement of one's personality.

The smiles of Leonardo Da Vinci’s Monalisa painting brings cheer to every heart and also for that matter, the smile of a baby brings same sensation in our hearts. A pure smile can generate positive vibes not only in a home but also at your working place (office).

When you smile, it will be returned, definitely. Life prolongs our life- expectancy period.
Smile costs us little energy and brings us happier. If you want to be serious (remaining angry), all the 64 muscles in your face have to come into action. But, if you wish to be happy or smile only 13 muscles action is needed.

If you go into history, the smile did such a glorious thing that it saved one person from death.

During the Spanish civil war, Antoine de Saint Exupery was captured and kept in prison cell. It was clear without any shadow of doubt that he would be put to death the next day, by the authorities. Saint Exupery wanted to smoke, as he had no matches, he requested the jailer if he had matches.

While lightening the cigarette , the jailer accidentally made eye contact with Saint Exupery who was smiling (without any reason). Even though, the jailor tried to be stiff, but the smile of the Saint Exupery drew the jailor into conversation and he also laughed. What happened soon after was that the jailor helped the saint to escape from the prison and saved him from death.

More over, man is the only the living being who can smile, in the whole creation of God, the Almighty. It is the gift given to humans by God. If you see any one without smile, give one of yours.

Smile costs us nothing, but fetches many dividends. So smile wholeheartedly and earn profits in real life.

But never forget the golden rule: “Laugh with a friend, but not laugh at a friend”. Never hurt your friends with rude jokes and comments. Human life is a wonderful thing and makes it happier with a little smile.
