Start your day with a smile. Greet everyone at the office with a pleasant smile. Start the day by spreading cheer and happiness. Give a smile to everyone. No one is properly clothed unless he wears a smile. A smile is a contagious thing. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and nature's best antidote for trouble.
