Hurray for Friday! Even when it’s not the end of the work week, Friday still makes me smile. In fact, smiling is the topic of today’s Sunny Note – because it’s good for business and good for our health.
When we get up in the morning, putting on a smile is as important – or more important – than anything else we wear. It’s worth the effort to…
Put on a happy face.
I was recently talking with a friend who’s dealing with a lot of challenges at home and at work. The weight of the world seems to be on his shoulders and yet he puts on a smile every day. Does he feel like smiling? No! But he smiles anyway and that simple act improves his career, his life and the lives of the people around him.
Smiling is so important that it’s official policy at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Livonia, where their training presentation includes this three-step slide:
- STEP #1 – Smile
- STEP #2 – Make other people smile
- STEP #3 – Repeat as necessary
When times are tough it’s more important than ever to smile – and make other people smile – as often as possible.
This morning I’m sending you a smile and wishing you a sunny day!
