Wow it’s been a long time since I post in this site. I got very busy in the past few months that I wasn’t able to write an article in here. Oh well better late than gone. So I was thinking on writing about “smile” today. Smile, this is a gesture of human whenever we are happy, a positive emotion that brings us to a comfortable feeling. So why do I want to post about “smile” simply because I had an experience yesterday, while I am in a rush hour and traffic was simply terrible. A lady next to my car which was my age smiled at me. I was on stress that time because I felt like I am late to work, as she smiled my stress just disappeared.
Happiness is contagious, according to researchers James H. Fowler of the University of California-San Diego and Nicholas A. Christakis of Harvard Medical School. Best of all it spreads far. Happiness, like flu, spreads through social networks. If you are happy, you’re more likely to be happy. When something good happens to someone, the resulting happiness radiates outward like ripples on a pond. The effects can be traced out to third degrees of separation, not just a friend of a friend, but their friends as well. That means even strangers influence happiness.
The best thing to do is cultivate happiness. So when I learned that my happiness can affect not only my wife, but her friends and their friend. I now listen to positive songs on my way home to boost my happiness so I can communicate with my loved ones at home with the feeling of happiness.
