7 Things to Smile About
1. Smiling can make you happy (even when you're not). Well, it turns out that the simple act of smiling sends a message to your brain that you're happy. And when you're happy, your body pumps out all kinds of feel-good endorphins.
2. Smiling can make others happy.
"When you're smilin', the whole world smiles with you." Ever heard that song, made famous by Louis Armstrong? Well, it's true. Research shows that smiling is contagious.
3. Smiling makes you more attractive.
Ever wonder why are we always asked to smile in photos? Because people usually look their best—and happiest—when smiling.
4. Smiling can help you de-stress.
The next time you're stressed about work or realize that your favorite jeans feel a little snug, don't freak out. Take a few deep breaths and smile!
Reducing stress is so important for health, too, as it can lower blood pressure, improve digestion and regulate blood sugar.
5. Smiling can help you land a job.
If you're about to go on a job interview, you may think that your appearance is just about wearing nice clothes. Wrong! You can't just wear that suit; you have to wear it with a smile.
6. Smiling can lead to laughter.
Have you ever laughed without smiling? It's pretty impossible to do. And it's funny how a smile here and a smile there with friends can turn into a whole fit of hysterical laughter.
7. Smiling just feels good.
Have you ever found that smiling just feels good? Go ahead, smile now. Doesn't it feel natural? Make you feel happy to be alive? It sure does beat the heck out of a frown.

elephant starts counting. The ant goes into one of the temples and hides. The
elephant finishes counting, and within a few seconds knows which temple the ant
entered. How does he know which one?
The ant left his
slippers outside the temple.
To catch an
elephant you need a telescope, a match box and a pair of tweezers.
Look at the elephant down the wrong end of the
telescope, when he looks small, pick him up with the tweezers and put him in

“Is there something wrong?” the waiter asks.
“I can’t eat this soup,” the man replies.
“Is it too hot?” the waiter asks. “No.” “Too
cold?” “No.” “Too salty?” “No.”
The waiter calls for the maitre d’, and for
the chef, and each goes through the same routine: “Too hot?” “Too cold?” “No,
no no.”
Finally the chief, at his wits end, says,
“Sir, I will taste the soup myself. Where is the spoon?”
Says the old
man: “A-ha!”
