Second, you look more beautiful when you smile. You may try to look nice by exercising or wearing nice clothes. But “a smile is the best thing a person can wear”. Others might think it easy to make friends with you when seeing the smile which makes you more energetic on your face.
Third, smiles are helpful. Both smiling and laughing can quickly spread from one person to another. If one person smiles or laughs, people around him or her want to smile or laugh, too.
