Highlights

Doesn't matter in spiritual or worldly work, smile is always a key to success. When you smile you convince yourself that you are happy. You could infect people with your depressing mood. No matter how hard you work, always try to smile; because if you cry or if you frown, it's still the same.
When you are happy, things go smooth. When you calm your mind, you know exactly what to do in any situation, or know the alternatives. Only when we are tense, when we are stressed out, then we could not take care of our daily affair and daily needs. Otherwise, when we're happy, everything is smooth.
