I have "the right" to my own opinion

Today when I was watching a nice music video by a Youtube artist, I noticed some interesting comments down in the video comments section. If you are familiar with Youtube comments, you should know that they tend to have people with miniscule brains abusing one another. I noticed that one of the comment's said "Lydia is so ugly" and of course this comment was met with a lot of abuse, and the person who write the initial comment defended him/herself by saying "I am entitled to my own opinion."

Is it really necessary spending that amount of time writing "you're ugly" on someone's video which in no way shape or form defines the artist's talent? The funny thing is that the artist herself was not even ugly. Don't get me wrong, I myself have been guilty of making dumbass comments many times however to make an effort to write your dumbass comments so that it is visible to the person you are making comments, is it really necessary to do that?

Smile

Today a customer came up to me and I said "Hi , how can I help you today?" He said "can I have a smile please?" With an innocent smile on his face, I couldn't help but have a genuine smile across my face because he just made my day. If any of you have worked in the customer service or sales, I am very sure that you can relate when I say that you can sometimes go into 'auto mode' when dealing with customers.
 

Sometimes we forget how a simple smile can brighten someone's day. Not only is it good for business but it can have an impact on people's lives for the better. Someone might be going through their daily routine, perhaps they have done it so many times where everything starts to become boring and predictable only to have your smile change the pace of their day. 


So smile, you might change someone's life by showing them that life is worth living :) Continue Reading
