A New Smile

Smile is another international language. The dictionary of smiles is huge. But it’s easy to turn its pages. It’s easy to learn new smiles. It’s lovely to read smiles on someone’s face. It’s a sign of happiness, politeness, surprise or sometimes curiosity or even love. You never know for sure unless you are keen to discover it. The easiest way to do it is to smile back.

This January day I met a new student. Our eyes met with broad smiles. Her smile was true and sweet. We had our first lesson. I really hope I have managed to ‘infect’ her with my love to the English language. It is really important to make someone love what you love. That’s the key of success. Love. If you do not have this wonderful feeling, you are likely to fail no matter what you’re doing. Love is what helps me to go along English and German.

I’m grateful for my new student, a new person, a new smile. I’m happy to share what I seem to know somehow. I’m happy to give someone a little part of myself.
