@___xyz___منذ 7 سنوات He leaves out that, while smiling in general is very good and everyone should smile more, studies have also shown that you are more likely to take risks id="hidden12" class="buttons"> and expose yourself for danger when smiling, as it stimulates a kind of "assumed optimism", where subjects felt that things were going more well than it actually was. That is not the kind of person I would want as my doctor, nevermind his wonderful and contagious smile. Frowning, on the other hand, has actually seemed to improve concentration. It's also hard not to notice when your colleagues try so hard to smile when you're in the same room, yet keep making the same mistakes when working the samples, but that's a different story. The lesson here is that there's a time and place for everything. Most people suffer from too little smiling gestures, often owing to lack of social interaction. ....وسعت 6

@MrAturner3منذ 7 سنوات After watching this video I can personally say that I agree with Ron on this subject. Now days with all the technology and new things with medicine coming id="hidden20" class="buttons"> out, everyone is always focused on the next drug to take or the next treatment that need to go to in order to better their health. I like people like Ron who sit back and simplify life, simplifying it to as little as a smile. I liked all the facts on how much a smile can actually stimulate your brain in a huge way, and equivalent to a lot of things that take so much more effort than just being happy. So I would like to say that videos like this and people like Ron are the ones that are truly important in the health world because I truly believe that things like smiling affect more people in a positive way and especially yourself more than any medicine can. I also liked when he went to the baseball cards and could predict how long those players lasted in the league. I thought that was amazing because baseball is such a mental game, that the ones that kept their composure and actually were happy played better. I might think about that the next time I play, or before a game, smiling can affect a lot more than people think. ....وسعت 2
