A young Aussie, Nathan Sturdy, was depressed and found a picture in the bin of a man with a gleaming smile. He was so inspired by the picture he started to send this picture through the interent, to fine Who is Happy Guy?. 7 years later, after the introduce of facebook, there were 3,000 members on the site were looking for Happy Guy on in October last year he was found.
Apparently a film may be made about this amazing story. Have you ever been inspired by a smiling picture?

One more picture :-)
In my office at home I keep a picture of Benjamin Graham 1894-1976. Benjamin Graham is known as the Godfather of Security Analysis and was Warren Buffett's mentor. I wrote my Thesis on him at university and have read everything that I could find which he wrote. He was a stock market investor, a philosopher and an independent thinker. Under the picture is a tribute which says that Ben Graham was one of those "men who plant trees that other men sit under."

Hi Frank, 0:14am Sunday morning in Germany. Have I been inspired by a smiling picture? A very interesting question. In my bedroom there is a picture of St. Therese of Lisieux. She seems to have a knowing smile and seems to confirm if I have had a good day or if I have done something wrong. Two years ago I walked into St. Stephens Cathedral in Vienna, looked left and there she was again - a big picture maybe 3 feet high (1 meter) of St. Therese - smiling at me. However, I don't know if that was an inspiration to move to Austria or the opposite.
See ya. Umart
