I would like to share with you a remarkable verse whose composer’s name has been lost. It is a pity, because they deserve the credit:
The Beauty of a Smile
A smile costs nothing, but its value is priceless.
It enriches the one who gives it, yet it impoverishes him not.
It happens in a flash but the memory may last for days.
No one is so rich that he can get along without it.
No one is so poor that he cannot afford to give it.
A smile generates happiness in the home and goodwill in business
Because it says, “I like you, you pleasure me.”
If you meet an acquaintance or a friend who is too busy to give
You a smile, leave one of yours.
No one needs a smile so much as the person who has none to give.
There is nothing I could add to this. Print this poem out and paste it up somewhere prominent.
Sent it (or a link to this page) to your friends and colleagues.
…Give your smiles away as if there were a limitless supply…
