I have asked thousands of business people to smile at someone every hour of the day for a week and then come to class and talk about the results. How did it work？ Let’s see... Here is a letter from William B. Steinhardt， a New York stockbroker. His case isn't isolated. In fact， it is typical of hundreds of cases.
“I have been married for over eighteen years，” wrote Mr. Steinhardt， “and in all that time I seldom smiled at my wife or spoke two dozen words to her from the time I got up until I was ready to leave for business. I was one of the worst grouches who ever walked down Broadway.
“When you asked me to make a talk about my experience with smiles， I thought I would try it for a week. So the next morning， while combing my hair， I looked at my glum mug in the mirror and said to myself， ‘Bill， you are going to wipe the scowl off that sour puss of yours today. You are going to smile. And you are going to begin right now.’ As I sat down to breakfast， I greeted my wife with a ‘Good morning， my dear’， and smiled as I said it.”
