Smile at strangers

“Smile at strangers and you just might change a life.” – Steve Maraboli

You never know, you can make someone’s day 😊 It happened to me so many times that a stranger’s smile made my day 😊 I’m glad if I can do the same 😊

        Nope. It truly doesn’t work in NYC. Sad that city people have to be like that.

    That is so true. Simple eye contact and a hello go a long way.

    I often add a “hello” type greeting – that either gets one back or at least a smile – I regularly do it (hello) on buses, I often think that drivers get such a hard time, and it’s nice to acknowledge that I hope they will safely drive me somewhere. And then I’m known to have quite random chats with people (strangers) and I have learnt some extraordinary things about their day or their lives…

    I think a lot of people do smile at strangers. Dog walkers smile at each other, if you’re out with a toddler or puppy lots of people smile. On the cliff top people smile as they pass each other; either they are in holiday mood or they live at the seaside – aren’t we lucky to live here. Sunshine brings out a cheerful countenance. But more important is to engage in eye contact with the elderly, the Big Issue seller, the harrased parent when the day is gloomy, the traffic busy.

    Hi Popsiclesociety,
    There is no better way to live life than to make a lasting impression on others. And one of the best ways is to smile at others including strangers. In fact, I have made many exciting relationships with a simple smile. It is good that you write about it.

      Thank you 😊 Yes, a smile can do wonders 😊💕🌸
