CHEERFULNESS
What sunshine is to flowers
Smiles are to the human heart.
A cheerful smile makes happy hours
As sunshine makes cloudy gloom depart.
Cheerfulness parts the gloom of darkness.
Cheerfulness keeps daylight in the mind.
Cheerfulness eases trouble and sorrow.
Through cheerfulness you will happiness find.
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” (Proverbs 17:22)
Shakespeare said, “A light heart lives long.”
Enrich your life with this advice.
Wear a smile. Sing a happy song.
"A man who sings while working,
A child who sings at play.
A mother who sings in the kitchen,
They all have a happy day."(Anonymous)
A cheerful song brings happiness.
A cheerful song and gay
Will make your work much easier
And brighten every day.
Wondrous strength has cheerfulness.
To endurance it gives power.
It does more work in minutes
Than gloom does in an hour.
A smile makes beautiful the plainest face.
A cheerful nature makes friends.
With these and friendly cooperation
A delightful impression the personality sends.
A source of cheerfulness is benevolence,
Kindness and charity.
Try to make these three your way of life
And you will cheerful be.
Cheerful people live longer in years
And after in our regard.
Cheerful people enrich the lives of others
And with happiness themselves reward.
