Smile not only relaxes you but generates relaxed atmosphere all round. Laughter is best medicine while smile is the most invigorating for all ages. Smile triggers the thymus gland to let at least 14 other endocrine to secrete the requisite harmones for general well-being. “One who is not wearing a smile is not properly dressed,” said Mahatma Gandhi. If you see a person without a smile- gives one of yours. Leave the house with a smile; enter the house also with a smile.

DO ONE THING AT A TIME Through it is possible to do about five things simultaneously; it is not possible to do all of them well. By doing one thing at a time, results in excellence through concentration of effort. When we do one thing at a time we derive maximum pleasure out of it, resulting in qualitative improvement in the outcome of results. So, while eating it is not desirable to read newspaper or hear on TV or radio as one will not ‘enjoy’ fully either of them.

Every activity requires minimum essential of time for any person. By trying to hurry, one does not improve the quality of work. Attitude of hurry invariably generates tension which obviously affects the quality of work output. How much worthwhile will a hurried prayer be?

The extra one minute thus spent will not be a waste of time.
