Why You Should Smile More Often; 60 Quotes to Motivate You To Smile

The World
Smile Day is around the corner. Oh, yes, you heard right. The World Smile Day
is celebrated annually on the first Friday of October. The fact that there is a
World Smile Day shows why you shouldn’t underestimate the power of a smile. 

The World Smile Day? You see, in 1963, Harvey
Ross Ball, a commercial
artist from Worcester, Central Massachusetts created the ‘smiley face’ that we
all love to use. Today, the smiley face is the most popular symbol of good
cheer and goodwill in the world.

 

Harvey Ball started World Smile Day in 1999. He did so to
give a chance to everybody on the planet to smile and share kindness at least
one day in a year. Harvey Ball died in 2001.

 

After
his death, the Harvey
Ball World Smile Foundation was
formed in honor of his memory and name. The foundation is now the official
sponsor of the Annual World Smile Day.

 

So, this year, World Smile Day is on 6th October. I urge
you to smile and share kindness on that day.
