Hello everyone. Hope we're all doing very well. It's a new day to begin with a smile. I'd like to share with is what smile can do to a person both internally and externally, and why it's necessary to always put a smile on the face. I specially thank the organiser of this contest, @patjewell for bringing up a contest as this.

What is a smile

Smile is such a beautiful thing that comes mostly from the heart. Research has shown that facial expressions tend to give more truths than what we communicate with our voices. This being said it's part of nonverbal communication which either complements or contradicts verbal communication.

This being said people have different reasons for smiling which is best experienced by them. A person could smile to tell that they are pleased with someone, a thing or a job well done.

A smile is an expression on the face that shows that a person is happy or excited. It helps greatly in adding to one's health some measure of benefits. Again, research shows that children smile an average of 400 times in a day compared to an adult who smiles 40-50 times in a day; a typical adult smiling just 20 times in a day.

This shows how we smile both consciously and unconsciously or reacting to things we hear or see.

A simple smile can tell a few things about a person. For instance, a lerson can be aaid to be courteous when speaking and smiling, or listening to somone and smiling at intervals.

It is also very practical in how patient we are. A person could be waiting fir hours and smile at the arrival at the other party to indicate that though he/she was kept waiting, she'snot so mad about it. This can be rare, be very respectful and courteous.

On the other hand, a person who does not smile very often can be said to be a loner or stone-faced, stolid or serious. This person is likely not to have so many friends come around him because of how they might think if him.

Advantages of smiles

• Smiling can be so energetic and boost one's our bodies to release endorphins.

• Reduced blood pressure: It has been proven medically rhat amiling can reduce one's blood pressure.

• Increased endurance: As already mentioned above, smiles show how patient nad enduring one can be.

• Reduced pain: A person may be really streesed out due to the work of the day, but a food smile can help reduce thise pains. It makes one deel loved and cred for.

• Reduced stress: This is also very effective when brainstorming on something and somebody chips in something with. Sense of humour. All the stress at this point should find it's way out.

• Strengthened immune system: Medically, we also see that a smile strengthens our immune system. If not for any other reason, a person should try to smile more often just to strengthen their immune system.

A person who smiles more often looks younger than those who do not.

On the other hand, a smile can be so powerful and infectious, yet very deceptive. It takes wisdom then, for one to know when a smile is genuine, and when it's not.

Laughter, they say, is the best medicine for the soul. It is a reflection of how happy one is.

Would like to invite @bela90, @anthony002 and @monz122 to participate in the contest.
