Smile
it increases your face value

Neither the most expensive jewellery nor the most fashionable designer outfit can do to your personality what a smile can. We are attracted to and are automatically drawn to people who smile. It is easier to converse with someone looks happy rather than with someone who frowns and stays withdrawn.
