if the person is normal then there will be no backfiring.if the person is abnormal then your smile can backfire.actually it depends on the person you are talking to.

I guess you are right :)) When you smile at someone you also need to take into account the person you are smiling or doing a good thing for ...and in what context he takes it.... I guess nothing is ever as simple as it seems.

When the weather suits you not,
Try smiling!
When the coffee isn't hot,
Try smiling!
When your neighbors don't do right,
Or your relatives all fight,
Sure 'tis hard, but then you might
Try smiling!
Doesn't change the things, of course by just smiling
But it cannot make them worse
Just smiling!
And it seems to help your case,
Brightens up a gloomy place,
Then, it sort o' rests your face,
Just smiling!

A smile costs nothing but gives much.  It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give.

It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it

and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it.

Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that

is of no value to anyone until it is given away.

Some people are too tired to give you a smile.  Give them one of yours,

as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.


It takes a lot of work from the face to let out a smile,

but just think what good smiling can bring to the most important muscle of the body... the heart.

All the statistics in the world can't measure the warmth of a smile.

No Swetha,  U understood wrong. I bet no one will take your  smile wrong . Every human is now wanting some sort to Love and care. , when U smile they will get confidence over u . Your one smile can make them feel ,  they are living. In their bad times , especially ,  people crave more for love and care . This way U could help someone.

Love ,

guys! here is a good story about smiling :)

Post by lovepsychic46 » Wed Apr 20, 2011 2:17 am

LEXI, an unhappy woman of substance, sits impatiently on a bus stop bench. MICHAEL, a (great looking, well built, bald) homeless guy, sits down next to her with a big smile on his face.

LEXI: What are you smiling for?

MICHAEL: It's what I do.

LEXI: I won't ask.

MICHAEL: I sell smiles for a living.

LEXI: I'm not interested.

MICHAEL: Here, have a free one - on me. (He smiles at her.)

LEXI: No thank you.

MICHAEL: Sorry, can't take it back. You'll have to give it to someone else.

LEXI: What?

MICHAEL: The smile. You'll have to give it away if you don't want it. Or sell it if you like - apparently it hasn't been used much.

LEXI: What do you mean by that?

MICHAEL: You don't smile very often, do you?

LEXI: So what if I don't?

MICHAEL: Shouldn't waste your smile...there's plenty of people who could use one.

LEXI: Well they can have mine.

MICHAEL: Your what?

LEXI: My smile.

MICHAEL: I don't see one.

LEXI: I thought you just gave me one.

MICHAEL: I tried, but it didn't stick. I think it bounced right off.

LEXI: Fine. What's there to smile about anyway?

MICHAEL: Well--

LEXI: You don't have to answer that.

MICHAEL: There's lots of things to smile about. It's a beautiful day outside; the buses are running on time--

LEXI: I don't want to hear about it.

MICHAEL: --and look at that flower over there, now that would make anybody smile--

LEXI: Would you leave me alone!(a long moment of silence. Finally, she gives in.)

LEXI: So what's the going rate on smiles these days?

MICHAEL: Pardon me?

LEXI: Your smiles...how much are they?

MICHAEL: Oh, they're very expensive.

LEXI: So's my taste.

MICHAEL: You probably couldn't afford one.

LEXI: Try me.

MICHAEL: I'm warning...it'll cost you.

LEXI: Yes, I know, HOW MUCH?

MICHAEL: One smile.

LEXI: One smile?

MICHAEL: That's how much they cost.

LEXI: What?

MICHAEL: The price for a smile is exactly one smile. That's the going rate. (She thinks about it)

LEXI: Alright. (smiles) I'll take one.

MICHAEL: It was a pleasure doing business with you.(he leaves)(Daisy, a streetwalker, sits down next to her.)

DAISY: What's with the smile?

LEXI: I sell smiles for a living.

This Story is to remind you to always smile and be cheerful! It makes people happy! Keep on smiling!
