 Practical Tips for Successful Living
Keep Smiling

• It has been sagaciously observed that a smile costs nothing

• The Power of smile is indeed fantastic.
• Only human beings have this special gift of nature.
• It is much easier to smile than frown!
• Smile not only relaxes you but generates relaxed atmosphere all round.
• Laughter is best medicine while smile is the most invigorating for all ages.
• Smile triggers the thymus gland to let at least 14 other endocrine to secrete the
requisite harmones for general well-being.
• “One who is not wearing a smile is not properly dressed,” said Mahatma Gandhi.
• If you see a person without a smile- gives one of yours.
• Leave the house with a smile; enter the house also with a smile.
 DO ONE THING AT A TIME
Through it is possible to do about five things simultaneously; it is
not possible to do all of them well.
By doing one thing at a time, results in excellence through
concentration of effort.
When we do one thing at a time we derive maximum pleasure out
of it, resulting in qualitative improvement in the outcome of
results.
So, while eating it is not desirable to read newspaper or hear on
TV or radio as one will not ‘enjoy’ fully either of them.
HA STEN S LOWLY

• Every activity requires minimum essential of time for any

person.
• By trying to hurry, one does not improve the quality of
work.
• Attitude of hurry invariably generates tension which
obviously affects the quality of work output.
• How much worthwhile will a hurried prayer be?

breakfast, take six minutes to do it from tomorrow. The
extra one minute thus spent will not be a waste of time.
