I use to be shy and too scared to say hello and smile at people for many years. I didn't relies by not smiling or even saying hi to a passing person could destroy the day of many lives. One smile, one hello, one simple greeting can change the day for everyone who surrounds you. That's it! A smile!
I started off just saying hello to one person a day and then it lead to everyone I passed. My reason for all the hello's and smiles on my journey of life was to make people I passed along the way to feel important to the world. In another way, it was away I could save the day and help stop some of crime and violence that surrounds us.
Think about it! When you stop and smile and say hello you make people feel like they are apart of this world. A simple hello and smile to a stranger who could be a robber, kidnapper, murder, thief, a rapist, ect. could in fact cause them to think about what they are doing, and make them relies they are being watched. If instead you walk pass them without saying hello or smiling or saying anything at all you could be increasing the chances of more violence and crime. Instead say hello even if you think the person is strange. It might just save a life or even the day! Be a hero!
You should always say hello to people you pass or even just smile. It might stop a person who feels alone and wants out of this world to feel not so alone. It might stop the person from committing suicide. You could be the one who stops a person from doing harm to themselves or others. All you would have to do is smile and say hello and that person would stop and rethink about what their doing. It could also make the person feel loved. Sometimes all a person wants who wants to commit some sort of crime is a simple hello and a sign of affection. Most times, its all they want is to be noticed. So say hello and smile!
Then you just got those all around nice people and every day people who just live life and go to work. Say hello to them and smile it could change their bad day into a good day. It may even, relieve stresses from their day or situation. Say hello to an old person. They love hellos it makes them smile and makes there day worth it. Say hello to a passing friend, or just a co-worker.
The reason for hellos and smiles is to save the day and lives. It makes your day better and the people who surround your life better. It makes everyone feel they are important. So just say hello and smile to a passing person and be a lifesaver!
