Smile at Strangers

Last  Wednesday, my lecturer gave a English project. That's really a simple project, I think. Just smile at stranger wherever you are.


I love smiling. I am grateful to God because I look really good when I smile. Smiling makes me feel warm, happy, and great. But, smile at someone that I never knew before, was not easy to do. I have been practicing to smile in front of mirror a lot. And I imagine, what should I do if I smiling at strangers? It's so ridiculous.

Now I have to practice in front of strangers and make their day. I do smile at strangers.
I give a smile at strangers. I usually make eye-contact, smile, and often say greeting. If it is an old person, woman or a kid that I never knew before. Not to the man, because, he may think I'm flirting with him. But, only when I makes eye contact with someone, I smile at her/him. Otherwise, I'd look like a grinning fool.
Many responses when I try to smiling at strangers. It feels awesome!!! When you smile at someone and they smile back. Moreover, they start chatting with me.
Some of them felt uncomfortable with that. Sometimes, my smile confuses them and makes them insecure. And even they ignored me.
 It makes me sad.  I feel stupid when someone doesn't smile back. But I promise to my own, I never give up to smile at everyone, even if they doesn't smile back .

This quote that I read in one of the entries inspired me:
 "Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day."
