Smile is contagious, as it is proven by myself. Even if I am not smiling wide, but my lips are pursed into a semi-smile and my eyes looks happy, I always get to see a smile too to the person I meet along the way and even on the jeepney I ride to work each morning.

When I also get smiles, I feel happy because I was able to make them smile, as they too made me happy and positive to face the day.

A smile can make an achy heart smile too. It helps them to at least be happy even for that very moment they smile, even if their heart is achy.

If only all the people will smile when they meet people on the streets, this world will be a happy place to live.

Our life is lie this running water.It will only stop running if there is long drought and when rain comes its appearance shows disturbances of its usual route, the same way to humans, the flow only stops and future hops end if life ends.Those disturbances are like humans for they are part of life while still living the same way with this flowing water it may suffer many abuses like toxic materials thrown onto it, wastes of many origins , flood.

You have pointed out such great points in your post. You are right that today’s children have lost themselves in online games and internet surfing. Those days when we use to play outdoor games have just become history here in our country so might be yours too. The technology has made us more away from each other’s than what it seems like.

I love the video/photo above. So timely for this summer. Yes, I agree, one need not worry about the future, however, that worrying can also challenge one to do his best to have a brighter, happier tomorrow. It can make one be assured that he will be capable of having a good life; but nothing will happen, nothing will change if one will do is just to worry without trying his best to achieve something for his future.

Nitin Pednekar, Hi thanks? You are right, the children of today may never experience playing games outdoors where fresh air and beauty of nature abounds. They are facing this time different world we had in the past. I agree that youths of yesterday are better than youths of today.

Yes, we need not worry about the future, but we have to do something in order to make better our future. We should equip ourselves with knowledge and skills in order that we can be hired for better paying jobs.

In line with that, we should also learn how to live within our means so we can also save some for our future.

Most of all we should always ask for the guidance of our God in doing what we can for the betterment of our future.

@Dina, Hi friend? yes true, we need to utilize our potential in order to raise a happy family and self. We never care about struggles for what is in our mind is old age that must be secured and protected against loses and other financial disabilities.When one is younger, never would it come to his or her mind about future that bears old age. Many do not care that is why when they are old, they will be burdened by their family who also have a family if their own.
