Does the whole world smile with you? That depends
Have you put up some weight? You are looking tubby.
Fat actually.
Frankly, I can bet you can't reach your toes without calling a cab.
Angry?
See I am smiling. Feel better? All right, maybe I owe you an apology. But don't underestimate the power of smile. These days they are mandatory even in the cyber-space. A smile can prevent a misunderstanding, offer up a magic code to decode a hidden message or disguise someone's true message. A smile is more powerful than words: it can overwrite even counter attack them.
Smiles must be important: Scientist have so far failed to discover the key to rapid interstellar travel but have invented teeth whitening strips. A sincere smile is a wonderful thing, but it's a luxury few politicians indulge. A good salesman knows it's value - it's even more important than the value of the product.
Consider the most famous smile of all, the "Mona Lisa". In a 2003 study, Harvard professor Margaret Livingstone claimed da Vinci painted it so that if you stare straight at her mouth at close range, the famous little smile is not evident - only if you view the whole face can it be seen.
Nevertheless, may I make a suggestion? Smile. a sincere smile is still a beam of light in this world. I have also discovered while travelling that, for all the talk of cultural differences, a smile bridges communication gaps. And smiles are contagious.
Smile tend to create their own weather systems. You can do it for a particular reason to begin with, then it tends to be self-perpetuating. Fake it ill you make it, behave a certain way, and your mind will come around. Let the tail wag the dog. Smile.
See? Kidding? Hey where are you going?

If Dracula can't see his reflection in the mirror, how can his hair is always so neatly combed?
