Just Smile

Life always has its funny side.
Well, it works both ways actually.
You make people laugh, and people make you laugh in return.

I know of people who claim themselves as melancholic.
As melancholic as life can be, there's always that humour in us that makes us human.
I always believe that there's a funny spot to everything that may seem tragic.
Well, when I say funny, I parallel it alongside words such as "reason".
There's always a reason behind a consequence.
There's always a reason behind an action.
There's always a reason behind our desire.
There's always a reason.

Most of you would know that I'm currently working in USM.
But what most of you wouldn't know is that I'm taking up a part-time job.
A rather interesting one actually...
Let me give you a teaser...

Big shoeeeeee... like the ones Macdonald wears...

You should be able to guess what I do by now...

Yes, I work as a part-time clown.

Why?
Simple.
I love kids.
Can't get enough of em'.
But above all, I love to see people happy.
What better way to see people happy than to be the person who makes them happy through the stupidity of my actions and words when I'm wrapped up in that costume!
I call it a bounce-off effect;
I make people smile, and when people smile, it makes me smile.
A smile bounces off each person's face.

People also say, don't smile if you don't mean it.
I beg to differ.
I'd still smile if I'm feeling sad.
Why burdened the people around you with sadness when you can make them happier than you are?
And by doing so, wouldn't it lift your inner spirit a bit more than before?
Nat King Cole put it the best in his classic song perfectly entitled "Smile",

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, youll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
Youll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile.

Mother Theresa once said this,

"Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing".

Indeed, smile is a beautiful thing.
It's the simplest way to love.

P.S: This one's for you, J-Buddy! :P Vian pinched my noseeeee! Bleh! ;P See, I just made you S.M.I.L.E.!
