Why FROWN when SMILES are a lot easier?

"A smile is a frown turned upside down"

Isn't that easy? Most time I really imagine some faces I see that I pray to be lucky enough to see smiles on them. These faces are not frowning out of pain or sorry but because the owners of such faces feel that's the best way to see them as serious or mean. Oh please spare me that I always say to them. I once went for an interview and I could remember smiling and laughing all through than I answered questions. The interviewer finally said, "young man I think you are a jolly happy fellow, I was sad the whole of today but your smiles just got me lifted." We all burst into laughter. She and myself are the best of friends till today.

Why go through much pain keeping that mean face that scares everyone. This post is not teaching you how to smile. If you already know how to do that count yourself pretty lucky but if you don't uuuhmmmmmm... you've got so much to learn. Just pull your cheeks backwards and let you teeth show a little. That's a smile provided you don't look scary at it. WARNING: Always use a mirror while doing this! LMFAO!

To the serious issues now. A popular quote says, "it takes more muscles to frown than it takes to smile." The origin of this quote is actually not known, the quantity of muscle involved in the action is also not known as various writers have theirs. Let us share some of the quotes below:

With all these quotes I really see no reason why anyone should doubt it. My grandmother always said, "laughter makes you leave long, why worry?" Always learn how to wear that smile on. Smiles makes us feel happier and lighter, though it is not a total cure for all situations (those very sad and agonizing moments), it sure offers that release and better state of mind to deal with the pain. Always put your smile on, even if you do not need it someone seeing your face does.
