Orang lumpuh pun gembira

Orang menganggap dengan memakai pakaian yang cantik dan mahal, orang akan suka berkawan dengannya. Mereka lupa bahawa ‘pakaian’ yang ditayangkan pada muka adalah jauh lebih penting berbanding pakaian yang dipakai oleh tubuh mereka.

Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, "I like you, You make me happy. I am glad to see you."

Professor James V. McConnell, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, expressed his feelings about a smile. "People who smile," he said, "tend to manage teach and sell more effectively, and to raise happier children. There's far more information in a smile than a frown. That's why encouragement is a much more effective teaching device than punishment."

You must have a good time meeting people if you expect them to have a good time meeting you.

Jika kamu tiada perasaan untuk senyum, paksa diri untuk senyum. Cuba menyanyi mana-mana lagu dan berperangai seperti dalam keadaan gembira dan hal itu akan membuatkan kamu betul-betul gembira.

Every body in the world is seeking happiness - and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn't depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions. It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it!

An insincere grin? No. That doesn't fool anybody. We know it is mechanical and we resent it. I am talking about a real smile, a heartwarming smile, a smile that comes from within, the kind of smile that will bring a good price in the marketplace.

Ancient Chinese says : "A man without a smiling face must not open a shop."

Abe Lincoln once remarked that "most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."

Elbert Hubbad says:

Whenever you go out-of-doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in the sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and do not waste a minute thinking about your enemies. Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like to do; and then, without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal. Keep your mind on the great and splendid things you would like to do, and then, as the days go gliding away, you will find yourself unconsciously seizing upon the opportunities that are required for the fulfillment of your desire, just as the coral insect takes from the running tide the element it needs. Picture in your mind the able, earnest, useful person you desire to be, and the thought you hold is hourly transforming you into that particular individual.. . . Thought is supreme. Preserve a right mental attitude - the attitude of courage, frankness, and good cheer. To think rightly is to create. All things come through desire and every sincere praye is answered. We become like that on which our hearts are fixed. Carry your chin in and the crown of your head high. We are gods in the chrysalis.

NILAI SENYUMAN

It costs nothing, but creates much.

It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None are so rich they can get along without it, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.

It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends.

It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature's best antidote fee trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away.

Baginda SAW sendiri menggalakkan kita untuk senyum dan bermanis muka kepada orang lain.

“janganlah kamu memandang remeh sesuatu kebaikan,biarpun bermuka manis di hadapan saudaramu.” (mafhum Hadis)

CONTOH

As I was walking up the stairs of the Long Island Railroad station in New York. Directly in front of me thirty or forty crippled boys on canes and crutches were struggling up the stairs. One boy had to be carried up. I was astonished at their laughter and gaiety. I spoke about it to one of.the men in charge of the boys. "Oh, yes," he said, "when a boy realizes that he is going to be a cripple for life, he is shocked at first; but after he gets over the shock, he usually resigns himself to his fate and then becomes as happy as normal boys."

I felt like taking my hat off to those boys. They taught me a lesson I hope I shall never forget.

Prinsipnya ialah: SENYUM! Smile, be happy!
