I was always a ...Smiling was what changed my life. I was always a chunky kid AND I was the only Mexican kid in this town during my childhood, so I was called all sorts of names... even the bad 'N" word that blacks used to be called because my skin was so dark. I did have some friends, but I tended to be very introverted.<br /><br />I read a book when I was about 15 or 16 that had one suggestion that you make a pact with yourself to smile at 25 people a day. You didn't have to talk to them... just smile at them as you made eye contact. I decided to try it and I found out that people almost always smiled back! It changed my life because I never expected that. It changed my whole attitude toward others and toward life!
