The ghost of Mary Campbell's cave.

Thanks Gordon,

I had a job which I grew to hate.

Managing 800 Employees.

24/7 job.

Many of these folks HATED each other.

It got so bad I had a Weekly meeting with most of them.

Where I LISTENED.

Crazy, but this Reduced FIGHTS by 90%.

Plus I Got Janitors to VOLUNTEER to Test New cleaning Supplies. Then REPORT
BACK to the GROUP.

Had S*Alesmen as GUEST SPEAKERS.

MY SMILE POINT.

To Get Myself in a Higher Energy.

HAPPY FRAME of Mind on the WAY to work.

I
Would
SMILE.

SMILE - SMILE - SMILE for 15 Minutes While DRIVING.

It made all the difference.

Everyone Else was Doom and GLOOM.

Not a Little UNHappy.

A LOT.

PICTURE 800 EMPLOYEES Literally Racing Each other to be the FIRST
ONES Down The road on the way home.

But ME?

I was Chipper and Cheerful.

Streams of Problems and Trouble Just Rolled off me like water off a DUCKS BACK.

I - A kid took at ax. Cut holes in his Apartment walls so he could run
his Stereo wires from room to room.

I SMILED.

II - Another IDIOT Used a Staple Gun to Nail a Parachute to his Dorm Celling
in concentric Circles.

ME? I SMILED while I wrote up the Bill.

III - Almost NIGHTLY - Some maROON in the boys dorm would KICK the water Fountain off the brick wall. Flood 3 Floors.

(I Set Up a Warehouse System.
Persuaded my boss to B*uy a Wet/Dry Vacuum. One Phone
call and I had a Janitor come out. Get the Wet/Dry Vac out of the warehouse. And Clean up the flood. I STAYED HOME.)

IV - Girls Heard GHOSTS - Demanded to be moved out of their Apartment.

COUNTRY BOY.

I heard BIRDS in the wall.

ENTERTAINING.

I found Pigeons that had fallen from a hole in the Roof Soffet
down behind the Sheet Rock in the Kitchen wall.

HAMMERED a Hole.

Put on Gloves. GRABBED the Pigeons.

NO MORE GHOSTS.

UNTIL I had my Marketing Biz
ready to JUMP over to.

Then I Quit.

TRY it.

Somehow a SMILE - on your FACE impacts Your EMOTIONS.

Simple but Really Powerful.

Thanks,
Glenn

Thanks Glenn!

I often see the opposite... Those people who walk around all day with a permanent scowl.

They don’t look like they’re having much fun. Don’t think I recommend it!

I have various playlists (on Spotify) which I use to change my mood. I have an “upbeat” playlist - where all the songs are (to me) upbeat. I have another playlist full of songs I like to sing out loud to... so that I can (you guessed it) sing out loud to them! I even have a punk playlist (when I’m feeling a little rebellious... Come to think of it, many punk bands seem to have a permanent scowl...)

But I think it’s true. Start scowling, and you start to feel peed off. Start to smile, and you start to feel happier...

And it helps your interactions with the world too!

Best wishes!
