Smiling People Make More Money.
Yes, that is what I said.
Sure, earning more money would seem to make people smile more, right? Actually, a recent study suggests it is the other way around: smiling people earn more than scowlers.
Researchers from the London School of Economics and the University of Warwick drew on data developed over 14 years of studying over 10,000 American employees to come to their conclusion: happiness is not only a result of higher income; instead, it also helps generate it.
As the lead researcher said, “The takeaway of this is the relationship between income and happiness runs in both directions.”
In fact, being “very happy” leads to 10% higher income, while being “very unhappy” leads to a 30% lower income.
So, all you worriers and meanies: Lighten up!
And to you carefree and joyful souls: Keep it up!
And to the rest of us, who generally fall in the middle: The attitude of Gratitude, and having hope, faith and dreams, will surely get you where you want to go.
Just Smile On!!!
