Smiles are contagious, when someone smiles it creates a chain reaction then others start smiling or laughing which makes people happy even for a second only. I continued to surround myself with kind, happy people who did kind things and simply smiled. Another important question would be that of my own actions on people, my actions affect people's emotions just as theirs affect me. If I treat people with absolute kindness, they will be kinder to me and I will be more likely to develop a happy and caring outlook on life. Just because someone isn't the most caring or kind person doesn't mean they have the right to act the same way. They might be going through a tough time or having a tough day and a humble act of kindness could make their whole day better. I believe that by being happy and kind, it can create a better life for me and those around me. Putting myself in positive situations is one of the biggest steps to being happy. The smallest notions can change someone so much and I think taking two seconds to make someone smile is worth it if it can change a person's attitude towards their entire day. I believe happiness and kindness are the most important attributes in life, they create the structure of who you are as a person.
