Only a smile that lasted more than 3 seconds is a sincere smile..:-)

Smile is not something that you have to pay, but it pays you handsomely if you keep on smiling!

Some people need to learn how to smile...i mean seriously some of us don't know how! I firmly believe that a sincere smile should last at least 3 seconds. No, you don't have to count it, but you can do an experiment to prove it. If you don't like someone and you come across him/her, then try smile at him/her...you should ask someone else to snap your photo during this 'memorable' moment..hahaha. On the other hand, what happen if you meet someone that you like/love, then surely your smile lasted more than 3 seconds (unless if you are trying to 'ass-kissing' someone very important to your career...then it may last more than 10 seconds!!).

Our Society, our beloved Malaysian people also need to be more generous. Why so afraid or hesitate to smile back if someone else smile at you. Those who work at the service counter (govt sector or private) dealing directly with the customers are the real heroes for their respective organizations if you are generous enough in giving away your precious smile. Unfortunately, there are countless of culprits sitting comfortably at the service counter without knowing anything about the word "customer". There is absolutely no need for the government to kick start a special campaign trail to promote this nor asking all their manpower to 'learn' how to smile or even ask them to wear a special smiley batch...hehehe.

People need to understand the important of smile, not only that it may help launching (or perhaps re-launching) your career (or your faltering career), but smile may also take you to a different territories, a new possibilities in your life. Trust me, smile keep you younger, depicting your self-esteem and help reducing other people's misery. According to a research (sorry folks, don't remember exactly who's the author), your high blood pressure, stress, tension and other related illness (including ageing problem) could easily been reduced by always giving away a sincere smile every single day. It is not a myth nor a liar.

One thing to be sure, "Smile is not something that you have to pay, but it pays you handsomely if you keep on smiling". adios.
