KINESICS - Smiling face
Smile is a specific feature of facial expression. It is the most universal sign, common among all cultures. It has following characteristics:
Ordinarily, smile is related to happiness of a person
Smile is also used when we recognize a person or accept the presence of another person
A smiling face often appears to be friendly and cooperative
Oblong smile happens when lips are drawn fully back from the upper and lower teeth. It expresses politeness. It also conveys respect to the teacher or the boss
A simple smile also shows love, interest or attention to a person or an object
If used properly, a smile can make a tense situation friendly and relaxed
Smiling plays a very crucial role in human interactions:
1 Smile creates a lasting first impression. A smile says, „I like you. I am glad to see you‟.
2 Smile is a messenger of your goodwill; it brightens the lives of all who see it. For those who often see people frown, scowl or turn their faces away, smile is like a sun breaking through the clouds.
It costs nothing but creates much – it enriches those who receive without impoverishing those who give.
It happens in a flash but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever!
One is not dressed for the day if he has not worn his smile. Nobody needs a smile so much as those who have nothing to give.
Smile creates happiness at homes, fosters goodwill in business and is the countersign of friendship.
According to an old Chinese proverb, „A man without a smiling face must not open a shop‟.
