smiles are contagious

for the first time ever, i gave my sister money today.
i don't know why i did, i didn't owe her money nor did she ask for some, but i just did.
maybe it’s because i received a lot of tip from work today.
whatever the reason, it was a good first step i guess.

on the side note, smile.

when you're having a pretty hard day or feeling discouraged, a simple smile and a little conversation can really change and brighten up your whole day.

as i started working at the sushi restaurant for the past month, i realized how much smiles are worth.
there are customers who come and leave right when they get their food. some just order and sit down and quietly eat. but there are always 2 or 3 who come in everyday with a smile and have a little conversation with the cashier who placed 100 dollars worth of wrong order or the delivery boy who got lost for 25 minutes finding the house that was only 2 streets down.
it makes your day at work a whole lot better and it feels worth it. it's satisfying.

and this is only at a small sushi restaurant.

Imagine what else it’s capable of.
