SMILE

August 28th, 2007


                           

                          

 

A smile costs nothing , but gives much.

 

 

 

It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give.

 

 

 

It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

 

 

 

None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it.

 

 

 

A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business and is the countersign of friendship.

 

 

 

 

It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad and it is nature”s best antidote for trouble.

 

 

 

 

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.

 

 

 

 

Some people are too tired to give you a SMILE

 

 

 

 

Give them one of yours, as none needs a SMILE so much as he who has no more to give.

A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always Delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the House, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments,Perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was Ashamed of its own imperfection. And miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
