Today, as I walked to the train from my office, I glanced at a woman who smiled when our eyes met.  Just a friendly smile.  As a natural reaction, I smiled back.

I kept grinning as I continued down the street and I met eyes with another woman and she grinned back.

And then I decided to see if, just by smiling at people, I could get them to smile back.  It’s contagious! Sort of like yawning but less obnoxious.

So each time I happened to make eye contact with someone, I grinned.  And goddamned if each one didn’t just grin right back.  Isn’t that sort of wild?

Dude, you should try it.
