Happy

There's nothing better than knowing you've made someone happy - especially if you can do so in some simple, thoughtful way. Here's ten easy ways to make someone smile today: I guarantee you'll be smiling too!

I'll start with the most straightforward and work up to ideas which need a little bit more planning

1. Write a note to say "thank you"

This is such a simple thing to do, but can mean so much. Write a note today to say "thank you" to someone who has helped you or done something for you. It could be to a parent, a child, a colleague, a friend, or even the helpful assistant in your local store.

Bonus points: Post or hand-deliver your note - don't just send it by email.

2. Set a fun screensaver or desktop on their computer

If you're in an office, why not switch a colleague's screensaver for something fun while they're away from their desk? Or at home, sneak into your partner or parent's office to set up a new desktop background for them. Make it something that you know will raise a laugh.

Bonus points: Find a screensaver or desktop picture from their favorite TV show or movie.

#2 WON'T make the person smile. Instead, it'll get you in serious trouble. I would never want someone invading my privacy, even if it's to do something harmless like changing my screensaver. How do I know this person wasn't on there reading my email or looking through my personal files? What an unbelievably dumb suggestion.

Treat others the way you want to be treated always. That's the best way to make people smile. Also I just watched a video that was even more touching that Christian the Lion. Here is is:

A very welcomed article and I do agree so very much with the advice of writing REAL notes to personalize and lenghten the time that the happiness lingers.
Thank you
