KEEP SMILING
Inspirational pieces by Avrohom Tzvi Schwartz, author of
several books on positive Jewish thinking
ENJOY OTHERS
Look at the children playing in the garden. Doesn't this give
you pleasure? Surely, you can delight in their beauty, their
simplicity? Surely, you can enjoy their laughter, their fun?
Look at old people, resting in their places. See worn hands
resting on shining walking sticks. See lived-in faces with
deep, warm eyes staring into the distance, gazing into an
uncertain future. Surely, you could hug such a person? So
far, the exercise has been easy. Now, let's take it one more
step. Start to look at all people in a new way, in a happy
way. Some of them dress well, others are a little shabby
— some are handsome, others are quite plain —
some are easy to talk to, others are distant. Still, we can
enjoy them all. We can take pleasure in their presence. We
can see them as our friends, and wish them happiness and
success.
