since the beginning of adar i kept a blue card in the window of my wallet that says in big letters, “KEEP SMILING”, which has helped so immensly, it’s hard to imagine, really.it cheers me and other people up so much, on the back it says, as a small reminder:
A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It reaches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory sometimes lasts a lifetime.
None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and no one is so poor but that he can not be made richer by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged. A smile is sunshine to the sad, and is nature’s best antidote for trouble.
Yet, it cannot be bought, begged, or borrowed or stolen, for it is of no value to anyone until given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as no one needs a smile as much as he who has no more to give.
It’s worth it to take time to read this and to waste money to print out the ink if you want to have your own card. Trust me.
