The phone rang! The caller wished an early ‘Happy birthday’ and asked ‘How old are you now?’ I took his query with a smile. We don't talk about trees getting older, instead we say they are ‘growing.’ Perhaps we must use the same language for ourselves: We're not getting older, we're just growing.
Come to think of it, smile is 'happiness' right under your nose. The next time you smile, notice your breathing and heart rates sync up. Thiruvalluvar, the Poet philosopher goes one step further in a nice couplet “To smile even in adverse situation is an elevated mindset”
Let us use our smile to change the world; and not let the world change our smile!
