Learn to Smile
I remember a song by Westlife，and the first sentence of it is " Just a smile and the rain is gone".Do you like smiling？I think you should learn to smile.
First，learn to smile at yourself when something unpleasant happens in your life.If you fail an exam or you are misunderstood by your friends，don't be sad.Just smile at yourself.Smiling at yourself brings back your confidence.Sometimes the one who beats you is not others，but yourself.Second，learn to smile at others.It will make you communicate better with people.Smiling at others brings them happiness and makes yourself happy as well.
In a word，smiling is a kind of language belonging to everyone.It passes love and friendship and helps shorten the distance between you and other people.Live with a smile，and every day will be shiny.The world will become more and more beautiful.
