Maybe that person life is sad. Thats why they dont smile so often. I have a friend who dont smile so often. I dont know what is his problem. Maybe he has some family problem. Me i always smile. I'm the joker in the class. I make them smile. When i see stranger sometimes i smile as a sign of greeting them. hello. Smile makes your face beautiful and make you young. We must smile everyday. To make this world more great and fun.

I know how to smile even though I didn't know the people around me. I smile at them when they smile at me or if they look at me. Hehehe...^_^ Maybe there are some people who didn't give their smile easily because they are too serious in life. And they think "why should I smile at them, I didn't know them anyway." LoL That's what I think they are thinking(not sure about that LoLZ ^o^)

It is not easy for me to smile at strangers because here it is not a norm to that. I only smile at a stranger if the person is looking at me. And I only smile to females because if I smile to males they would have a wrong perception to my intention. In my country, almost nobody greets each other between strangers when they meet on the road sides. We only smile to people we know and those whom we have intention to speak to. I notice that western people are more open and they often greet strangers on the streets.

i'm usually serious and quiet while at work but i'm such a giggly person that it takes very little to make me smile and laugh. smiling for me, comes very easy. having kids around most of the time, can almost always make you smile. when i read or saw something funny... i don't are if i'm alone or what, if i wanted to smile or laugh, i'll just go do it. -lol- a little while ago, my brother just happened to see me smiling while on the computer typing away. he asked why i'm smiling by myself and thought i was chatting with someone. i said, i was posting something in mylot. he saw that same smile when i had my 500-word task approved yesterday. (sadly, tasks are temporarily unavailable for the moment) smiling at strangers comes easy also. especially when travelling, i found smiling and being friendly helps pass the time and making the travel more enjoyable. :)

A Little child's smile Walking under the trees after a rain Smelling the fragrance of a new book Watching the mother bird feeds her chick These are the few things which makes me smile.

I am a smiler and have found that most people will respond when I smile at them. It may be just a tiny smile but it is non the less a smile. Smiles can be very contagious so keep smiling. It may make someone's day a bit brighter.

I usually smile when interacting with others. By myself I often have a serious face on, but as soon as someone else comes around and we are communicating, I can't help but smile. I want to make sure that I am coming off as welcoming and friendly to them, and not as cold and unapproachable.
