The Value Of A Smile

The Value Of A Smile
by Author Unknown

A smile cost 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 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.

Stress Management

Here are a couple of quick quips for managing stress:

If you allow others to make you stressed, you are allowing them to
control you. Do you really want others pulling your strings?

Look at stress as a test.

The only person responsible for your stress is you.

Stress is energy. Are you going to use this energy for something
productive or destructive?

Will it matter tomorrow? Next week? Next Month?
