This article by Stacey Colino makes a LOT of sense to me. It's certainly something to remember as you go through the day. Do you want those you encounter to be "infected" by positive or negative feelings from you? Smile. Be gentle.
I remember, when I started working at a waitress, I made a conscious effort to smile more. I figured that people who came to eat deserved a pleasant meal, you know?
Well, I changed jobs after a few months. I noticed that a lot of people smiled at me, and it all seemed really weird. Yeah. Really weird... until it occured to me that they were actually just smiling back because I still smiled at everyone.
That kind of made me laugh when I finally figured it out.
