A smile increases your face value
I received that in a fortune cookie Sunday. Fortune cookies no longer tell fortunes; they seem to just have sayings in them. Sometimes the sayings can pack some meaning such as the one I received yesterday.
Think about it a minute.
Face value, what does that mean? A couple of things come to my mind.
It could be like property value. The value of you as a human has just increased. When you smile at some one that person feels better and automatically think better of you, increasing your value to them as a person.
Look at it from the opposite end. Think about the couple that always bickers. Their value to each other keeps going down until one wants a divorce. I have heard many stories and read enough self-help books that say if only one partner will start to smile and act kinder and more accepting, the other partner will soon follow suite and the marriage is saved.
Another way to look at face value is in a more literal way. Your face just looks better, prettier with a smile on it.
So put a smile on the next time you go out and increase your value.
