    This video is fantastic and should be watched by everyone! A smile is free, easy to give and pass along and our planet needs more smiles. Thank you for making me smile when I really needed it and reminding me to keep smiling.

    try telling the opposite sex that they "have nice cheek bones" and see if they react the same way. What happened when he did not offer praise? They no longer accepted him. And the lady who found out how to make people smile by telling them that are great without knowing them, she used this skill to make money. And that my friends is the honest truth.
