The Power of SMILE

3 days before, i met one of my course mates in YIH foot court, we have seen each other for almost 3 semester but still, don’t know each other. i guess many of you out there are in the same situation as mine. That’s the culture of university, unlike in secondary school which i knew everyone in my class, even students in other classes. 
Back to the topic, after i saw her, what crossed my mind was i should either smile and say “hi” to her or ignore her. Smiling and saying “hi” are the actions that normally i will not do because of my personalities; act cool or shy i should say? :) But in that very short moment, i chose to smile to her.
In return, she smiled and said “HELLO!” to me. Hmmm, i was quite surprised and felt happy deep in my heart. i felt happy because i have made a right choice. Before that, i seldom smiled to “stranger” as i was so scared of embarrassment if they didn't smile back to me. Now, i get a conclusion, don’t be shy and always put on a smiley face wherever you go, and smile to whoever you meet, even to a stranger. 
Here is something i found in Google, it teaches me the power of smile. 
Wearing a smile when you are among strangers is the best way to invite them to get to know you. A smile sends a message that you are friendly and easy to like. It tells people that you have a positive outlook and that you are smiling and attractive on the inside. Your face is the first thing people look at when they meet you for the first time, so why not let it advertise what a great person you are? Why not turn on your Smile Power?
