"Smile........A Source of Inspiration!!!"

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day. ~Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

It is said "A smile is a curve that sets everything straight"

That Diamond Smile.. That Killer Smile.. That stops your heart for a second.. That Smile you are ready to die for.. That smile for which you would give up your world..

What is a Smile? Ideally the the defination says , "A smile is a facial expression formed by flexing the muscles near both ends of the mouth." But I would say "Its a source of Inspiration"

A simple smile can ease tension. It can win battles. It is used to show emotions. It has no religion no lauguage .. no one can differentiate between two peoples smile. There are different types of smiles. A smile can be naughty, flirtatous, wicked, sober, so on and so forth.

Thailand is called as "Land of Smiles". Normally, A Thailand labour is so cheap that they dont even earn $200 a month but still they smile. Its their normal gesture. Even if they spill a cofee on your shirt the look wont be embarassing but they would smile and apologise because a smile can kill anger.

But the smile (YIM in Thai) is perceived in Thailand as being just about the most appropriate reaction to any possible situation. It's used to show happiness, embarrassment, fear, tension, resignation, remorse etc.. What smile means depends upon the type being used.

For eg;

Yim tak tai : The polite smile, used for strangers or people you barely know.

Feun yim : I've been forced to smile even though i dont want to.

Yim Cheuat Cheuan: The smile a winner gives to a losing rival.

Yim Tak Tan : The sorry but you're wrong and I am right smile

So my friends keep smiling, you never know who might be in love with your smile.. :-)
