Just because a person smiles all the time, doesn't mean their life is perfect.

Good day fellow mylotters, I wonder how some people get their laughs although they have so much problems in their life. Just like the celebrities whom we always seen at the height of the limelight. Their faces are always smiling. Hence, you cannot determine, where they are really getting their strength. Well, come to think of it, it is not just because a person smiles all the time, doesn't mean their life is perfect. Thus, that smile coming from their faces, maybe is just a symbol of hope & strength.

Of course a smile doesn't necessarily mean that the owner of a smile is perfect, happy, rich or what ever. Like celebrities, their smiles are fake. We never know how they truelly feel. Apart from that, smiles, whether they are genuine or fake, wll promote good health. Smile as many times as possible, then you get positive effect of your smiles.

Can you have 1,000 smiles a day? That will really make your blood preasure down to normal. Have a go at it, if you don't trust me.

The people who have a lot of struggle in their life and are getting through with each day at once with smiles on their faces, It is not may be a symbol of hope and strength but It i their hope and strength. A clown is always smiling and making others smile doesn't make him the happiest person in the world.

I think there are people who are optimistic by their nature,they smile in spite of all the hardships they have to endure because this attitude is in their blood,and they are also fighters,they don't allow negative thoughts to invade their minds because most of them are born strong.I guess that this attitude which inspires hope and determination can also be educated and developed;anyway,I admire people who manage to smile most of the time and hide their worries and uncertainties because when I find myself in the company of such a person,it usually has a positive effect on me as well and it improves my mood considerably.

Hello airasheila, I do smile even in the worst time because i don't think by always crying someone can handle the situation.To handle the difficult time one need patience. Yes there are lot of people who smile in difficult time too they do it because they never loose hopes and they know one day they will get success to change the situation.

Maybe you are right. However, I think this is mostly for the public and for their own self confidence. This is if we are talking about celebrities. But they are other, common people who smile all the time and make jokes and you could think they have a perfect life. Very often this is just self defence and a way to get over stressful personal life. I respect people like that.

A lot of people can put up a front n act like they have never been happier but really they are screaming inside. I have a lot going on in my life and when I see people who want me to be happy or people I don't want to know I'm hurting I can pretend to be just fine. It sux a lot of the times and I usually end up snapping at someone who knows I'm unhappy just because I have to hide it sometimes which is difficult

Honestly, now a days, I have so many problems.. I can't even let myself smile.. Maybe for some people who carries their problem lightly were the ones who can laugh at their problems. I just hope I can smile again and surpass all of this problems..

hello, Yeah, because celebrity has a job to make us feel happy even though they are in the serious problem. They should pretend to be strong in front of their fans. right? But you are correct because not all people are happy because they smile it is only the show that they are having a hard time in there life but they pretend they are happy in front of many people even deep inside they aren't.

I made smiling a habit cause they say smiling can bring a positive aura, I am struggling to live healthier so I need more positive feedback, also I don't want others think that I have problems even if I actually have one, so Smiling is free and doesn't cost a penny, I might rather give one to everyone.

You are definitely right! Just because they smile it doesn't mean that their life is perfect. Some would smile because they are really hopeful that the world will be a better place. They smile because they knew that life is full of ups and down.

Yes ariasheila you are right if person laughing everytime means we can not say they are perfect and no stress in their life. In every life lots of stress but some people show it and some are hided it.

well some people need to smile and laugh because their jobs demand them to do so. but for some people it could be because they dont want anybody around them worried about them. and for some people, it makes them more relax and think about things in positive way. for some other it might be because they still feel grateful regardless the problems they are facing. and yeah a person that smiles all the time doesnt mean that his/her life is perfect.

Some people smile to hide away their problems in life. They need to cover up those problems. If you're comparing the celebrities with smiling faces, i bet they'll do that everytime and that doesn't mean their life is perfect. I know a lot of people like that, Even the poor one's they still find to smile and be happy, Someone asked them why are you still happy even though you are poor? the poor man said, i'm happy because i have family, they give me joy and strength to go on. I also try to smile even though i know i have problems on my own. I hide my sadness. But deep inside of me, I pray and have faith that everything's going to be alright.

Showing happiness and smiles all the time can be a mask of a person, but there are possibilities of real happiness too. The features may be differ person to person.

How true! THere are people with all sorts of problems ; some of them are really severe.But these people with very severe problems move around with a lot of cheer. I really admire them and from personal experience have known a few like this too. On the contrary, there are people who keep cribbing for the slightest trouble in life.In our regional language there is a very pithy saying "some people cry because they cannot afford a bit of salt in their rice water while others crib because they cannot add sugar to their milk."

I smile even in the worst time because I know life doesn't end just because one trouble so what's the point of frowning there was a time I didn't smile much but now I don't care I'll keep smiling

People that always smile is not necessarily always happy in their life. I believe problem comes and goes, and that is what life is made of. Without problems, believe me life will be boring. Nevertheless, problem drives innovation - just see around us and you will know I am telling you the truth. I would rather say that these people are masters in hiding their emotion. Most of the time, people like these smile to hide something from other people and not because their life are good. Not to imply that their life are not good or they are liars, but these people know when and where to express their feelings. Indeed, smile is a symbol of hope and strength.

I have seen many peoples who smiles at trouble times, and those who always cry even if everything is OK. About celebraties, I don't think all the celebrities laughs from heart. It's only due to professional part. The worst times won't going to change if we keep crying. If you keep crying the family,socity around you gets bad energy and atmosphere is occupied by negative energy due to this bad energy spreads more and negative things keeps happening. So its always better to be laughing in bad times.

There is no use mourning for what has happened..I feel everyone should live in their current and forget about their past so that most of problems and sorrows disappear.As u said,smile is definitely a symbol of "hope".Its drives away negative intentions and builds up positive thinking.Such people are courageous,strong hearted and have good will power.
