Count if you will the number of smiles Your smile has drawn from
other in one day. The number will represent how many times you have
promoted contentment, joy, satisfaction, encouragement, or confidence
in the hearts of others. These good dispositions always give birth to
unselfish acts and noble deeds. The influence of your smile is
spreading though you do not always see the wonders it is
working.
