There has been much written of late on the
topics of time and money management, but not
much has ever been mentioned about “Smile
Management”. According to David H. Song, MD,
FACS, plastic surgeon and assistant
professor at the University of Chicago
Hospitals it takes fewer muscles to smile
than to frown; ergo, you should smile.
Happiness, it seems, is the lazy person's
emotion.
Let’s now consider time, specifically, one
minute, it never seems like a lot of time,
but never underestimate the cumulative
effect and value of each minute that we
live. You can’t mange time, all you can do
is manage yourself with respect to time!
Benjamin Franklin once said, “ If we take
care of the minutes, the years will take
care of themselves.”
Assume now that a minute is worth a penny
and suppose you began to double that penny
each day for a month. At the end of a week
you would only have 64 pennies. That may not
seem like a lot of money to you, but at the
end of the month, you would have accumulated
536,870,912 pennies. Translated into
dollars, that’s $5,368,709.12, not too bad!
Now if we apply that same principal to
“Smile Management” and we smile once every
minute, just think of how much better we
will feel and how we will brighten other
people’s lives.
Some of the benefits are amazing and
include:
• Establishing new and healthy relationships
• Reestablishing and reconnecting with old
friends and relatives
• An increased sense of well-being
• Decreased stress
• More energy
I encourage you to smile more at home, at
the office and with your friends. You will
find this to be one of the keys to a happier
you! |
