Thesaurus: have or make pleasant expression: to have or make an expression with the corners of the mouth raised, usually expressing amusement, pleasure, or approval.
Smile is a weird thing that human beings do or rather it is weird how they react upon it as it is regarded by other creatures(ask any carnivorous. Lion for example) as an aggressive gesture that may be followed by the act of violence. Humans however obviously don’t think so. Human smile is connected with and expresses happiness, pleasure, good mood or as it happens more and more often these days a desire to sell you something. Smile, in fact, plays a vitally important role in the formation of good mood (See “good mood”). It is also an irreplaceable part of laugh (See “laugh”).
Smile may have a very powerful effect on person/persons it is applied on. However to succeed in its purpose to show good mood, pleasure, approval or desire to sell you something smile must be generated in a proper manner and applied in a proper moment. Its efficiency also varies a great deal due to the mood, age and customs of people it is exercised upon. Of course such thing as “politeness” is widely spread these days, so you may be sure that most of the people would react positively on your smile and may even smile back bounded by its laws.
To create it in a nice, warm and gentle manner you must first of all have a mouth. It is the thing you eat with. If you don’t have a mouth and are reading this then you must probably be from another planet, so please don’t waste a second and phone NASA. They will be really glad to see you as well as the rest of the Earth. If you have a mouth it is now very important to have some teeth in it. At least the front ones. If you have no front teeth you better get some as soon as possible. Once you ensured that you have all the hardware needed you can actually smile. If you have a mouth and have or had teeth in it you must have some muscles on your face or on whatever your mouth is located on. Keep your mouth shut and stretch its corners in the opposite sides till it starts to hurt. Enough. Now use your muscles in the other directions to show your teeth. Hold it. Till it starts to hurt. Just kidding. A proper smile is created for a moment or two and has much more effect then if you would stare at somebody smiling for a half an hour. Practice in front of the mirror. A brief shy smile, a broad photographic Hollywood one for ten seconds, a maniac grin for fifteen minutes, a batty half-smile for half an hour and so on.
Olympic Record for “shy smile” is 15 hours 12 minutes 55 seconds; “Hollywood smile” – 10 hours 35 minutes 5 seconds; “sexy smile” – 8 hours 23 minutes 42 seconds. For further reference look up the Book of Olympic Records in the nearest library.
