Smile
<p>In <a class="wikilink" href="/the_leader_in_you_-_dale_carnegie/">The Leader in You - Dale Carnegie</a> (<a class="litnote tooltip" href="/literature/@carnegie2010">@carnegie2010<span class="tooltiptext">How to win friends & influence people</span></a>), the author argues that a smile can take you a long way when trying to make new friends. He gives as examples babies, who are naturally sociable and everyone likes them. </p>
<p>He says that smiles can be transmitted also through the voice (for example over a phone conversation), and that the most effective people at sales are those who smile. ^2ea8cc</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Everybody in the world is seeking happiness -- and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness does not depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Most of the examples of this sections seem a bit artificial. However, I think there is nothing wrong with sharing happiness with the rest of the people we encounter on our daily lives. </p>
