SMILE =) … or wear a Hat…

How many times do you laugh or smile during the day? Me  personally laugh a lot. Among my friends and colleges I am considered as the Noisiest person =) But they never complained so far, as I guess my laughter cheers them up

E.E Cummings, American poet of wrote: “A day without laughter is the most wasted of all days”.
There is a quite interesting statistics concerning the laughter. According to psychologists, children laugh 400 times each day whereas adults only laugh 7 to 15 times. That is a difference of 385 laughs! While we may never get back to that state of being as carefree as a child, injecting some much needed laughter into our lives is good for our body and mind. There is even a study called Gelotology concerning the effects of laughter on human body.

What about smile? A smile has the power to make you and everyone around you feel happy. Most of the employees are forced to SMILE at their workplace to avoid spreading the unhappy mood on others. However, how often does the appearance we have really tell what we feel?

There is this Happiness Hat, made by Lauren McCarthy, which as he describes is “a wearable conditioning device that detects if you’re smiling and provides pain feedback if you’re not.” Here is the video demonstration of “keeping-you-smiling” device:

I guess this could a good to start practicing smiling =) though, in my opinion having the wide Hollywood smiles on your faces maybe quite annoying, especially when you know it is just a MUST HAVE smile

However, keep smiling and laughing form the bottom of your heart, and let each day in your life be so full of cheerfulness and nice surprises, that you never will need a Happiness Hat on your head!
