The power of your smile I like to see and to meet smiling people. When I go in a street and someone smiles to me it makes my day happier. Then I feel warm in all my body, and the heart seems to want to escape from the chest. With all of that joy I want to hug, joke, do something nice. I live in a big city, so constantly I have to meet strangers. So I do appreciate the warm of an involuntary smile stranger. I love to smile and not just in response. Sometimes moments can be funny, and someone takes a smile as some misunderstanding, but that says a lot about this person. But I do not forget about the true power of a smile. Smiling people live longer and happier. Smiling makes our mood better. Do you smile more than 20 times per day? In fact, those with the most amazing superpowers are actually children, who smile as many as 400 times per day. The good news is that we're actually born smiling. Using 3D ultrasound technology, we can now see that developing babies appear to smile, even in the womb. Now I must be at home with children and being around children who smile so frequently makes me smile very often. British researchers found that one smile can generate the same level of brain stimulation as up to 2,000 bars of chocolate. The same study found that smiling is as stimulating as receiving up to 16,000 pounds Sterling in cash. And a recent study at Penn State University found that when you smile, you don't only appear to be more likable and courteous, but you actually appear to be more competent. If you want to look great and competent, reduce your stress or improve your marriage, live a longer, healthier, happier life, smile.
