I bought this domain a couple of months back contemplating on which topics should I write about. I can write on many topics be it technology, life lessons, business and or even on Advance Level Biology. While juggling on the topics, deep inside me wanted to figure out the purpose of this blog. One night it all came to realisation, “How can I put a smile on peoples face“. But I’m no comedian, entertainer nor I get ideas for funny stories which are like the universal methods of making people laugh or joke (or you can be the Joker too <Let me put a smile on your face meme goes here/>). So how?
Smiling is an expression of happiness (unless someone fake it for a purpose). You are happy when you had a good night sleep, you are happy when you dance to your favourite song, you are happy when you take a sip of a cup of coffee calming you and making you indulge in the sensation on a cold night, or even you are happy when you find that semi colon bothering your code; there are plenty of ways to make you happy thus make you smile.
I like to smile and I like when people around me to smile too. I know it’s not easy as it says for some people to show that expression as the moods may vary depending on the situation you are in. Last year I was having a really bad day but for some weird reason I started to smile and walk through the corridor at work. A lady saw me end of the corridor and said “Hey, seems you are having a great day”. It made me smile even noticiable and I said “Yes sure I do. You have a great day too”. Trust me, my mood eased and I felt much more better.
Research have shown smiling a good way to get your happy hormones in to supercharged action. When you feel good, you can be more productive be more lively and people around you will feel that vibe in you and start to like you (a positive way to influence people). For some people, smiling is natural and for some it’s not. I’ve met people even if you smile at them ever they dont smile back at you. Grumpy looks at its best (I’m sure you know someone too). Dont get me wrong but having a straight face/ being professional is different from being grumpy. Yes you dont need to liked by everyone but you should likeable to yourself at least, so smile for yourself to feel better.
So the objective of my blog is clear to you now. It’s to make you smile. I’m sure I’ll not be able to put a smile on every reader as every post will be a different topic trying to address an important construction for different you. Final thought, for those who know me would know I have a smile on my face every day though I fight my own battles daily. Why do I do it? It’s because of a simple concept taught in Islam, “Smiling is an act of charity” and that charity my friend, we dont need money to fulfill and you dont need to be a muslim to do it.
Smile 🙂
