Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. – Mother Teresa

I like smiling, smiling’s my favorite. – Buddy the Elf

I’ve been asked a few times to speak to the young kids over at ISU about interviewing. Every time I introduce them to my number 1, topic secret, ultra-sophisticated interviewing tip – smile, a lot.

Whether it’s an interview with a perspective employer or a waitress taking your order – if you smile more, it will go better.

The quote above gives a good hint as to why.

If smiling is the beginning of showing someone love, we will get a lot further in life by smiling.

Human beings were made to feel and be their best when they feel loved.

If we want the best from ourselves and those around us it makes sense to work to make them feel loved.

And a smile is a great way to start.

Smile more today.

Make it a great day.
