"Some smiles are sarcastic. Some smiles are artificial-diplomatic smies. These smiles do not produce satisfaction, but rather fear or suspicion. But a genuine smile gives us hope, freshness. If we want a genuine smile, then first we must produce the basis for the smile to come." --Dalai Lama
Happiest Man in America
As Charlie Brown and the "Peanuts" gang told us, happiness could be a warm puppy, pizza with sausage, five different crayons -- or anyone, or anything, that's loved by you. And, although it's true that many special moments are inspired by such happenstance, scientific research contends that people actually can condition themselves for genuine happiness, much as occasional joggers condition themselves for marathons. And this year, Gus Godsey is USA Weekend's happiest man in America.
BE THE CHANGE
In a mirror, look at your smile. Keep smiling until you feel that it comes from a place of inner peace.
