Introduction Hi, My name is Leechiun, but you can call me Allison. I am the author of the eBook titled “7 Magical Reasons to Smile”. My website is http://Leechiun.com We are a family of five, including parents Chai Ah Moi and Chong You Fong, my younger sister Chong Lee Pin and my two younger brothers Chong Wui Leong and Chong Wui Seng. I am the eldest. During our childhood, my parents had no time for us. They were busy with their jobs to provide the basics for us. We rented a small house at the shopping lot, near the market. Since young we needed to be alert and get our important documents in order. This is because we often heard about various incidents in our area in the middle of the night- like a fire, a murder case or like bomb scare. I have experienced a few firemen knocking on our windows, calling us to run in the middle of the night, and we just ran without hesitating. Once, a petrol station near our home was bombed and a man died. We heard a huge explosion. No doubt we are poor, but one thing- we are happy. My mom and I had many memorable moments together. She is the most creative mom, and will try her very best to find something to sell, earning extra cash to bring home that we have enough to eat. I remember every night we would help her to pour the Chinese herbal tea into the glass bottles and refrigerate it. The next morning, she would bring them to the market and supply them to the food stalls and bring back the empty bottles to refill them again at night. During weekends,


Page 5 of 39

she would fry the banana which she had already sliced into thinner pieces- forming banana biscuits- and we would help her to pack these into small packets and put them inside the basket. At night, she would bring out the packets with us and walk about 2km to the cinema, to supply the banana biscuit to the store in the cinema. Our life improved after we moved into the new house. In my teenage years, I was an introverted person. I did not know how to communicate with people, I did not know how to ask questions, and I did not have any confidence to talk to people. After secondary school, I decided to take up Business and Information in Computing Systems. This way I could find a job and just work in front of the computer all day and would not have to deal with people much. That was what I was thinking then. However, I couldn’t find a programming job, or any job at all where I could just work in front of the computer only. At that time, I was desperately in need of a job. I managed to get a coordinator job- which means I needed to talk to people to coordinate with people from difference departments. But that job lasted for only 8 months. After that, I’ve been headhunted and move on to another company getting a better pay. My new job even required even more communication, because it’s a telesales job with one of the IT distributors. Every day, from Monday to Friday, my phone would start ringing from 9am nonstop until 7pm. The first few months I got annoyed because I was shy and lacked confidence. However, after 1 year, I got used to it and I began enjoying it too. I talk to my clients, inspire them and motivate them. I have never met these clients before- all communication is through phone calls. They started to like me and gave us more business. Many years later, I received compliments from my clients. They said my communication


Page 6 of 39

skills improved a lot, and I know how to joke with them. I know how to make them happy, and sometimes they can even feel my sincerity, happiness and energy. They try to imagine, how I look. I even had clients wanting to see my face; they purposely came to my office to see me. From then onward, I knew that whenever we are happy or smiling people from far away can feel it, although they cannot see it. My diving instructor told me even when I was seated quietly there, I can smile.

Why This Book Is For You We cannot be happy without smiling, but we can smile without being happy. Smiling is an expression from the face, and a sign of peace and happiness from the heart. It’s also a universe language. How often do we really smile? "We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.”-Mother Teresa. How true the above quote until we practise it and experience it. We are all born with the ability to smile; it's not something we learn from others. We were never taught how to smile in our mother's womb, but the Creator has created the smile on our face and we are born to smile. We have been smiling all our lives. And to some degree, we already possess the inherent knowledge that smiling not only feels good, but it actually does good too. When we enter adulthood, we tend to have difficulty remembering to put our smiles on. We are bothered by many things in our life. Sometimes when we face the camera, we thought we were smiling, but in actuality, we were not. Why we can't smile every day? We have been affected by the external circumstances and controlled by our emotions. A smile triggers the muscles in your face and your brain, releases chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are responsible for making us feel happy. Besides, let’s what other ways a smile can benefit us.


Page 8 of 39

1. Smiling Boost Your Mood How this free gift given by the creator can really help us feel better without paying a cent! And yet, we have forgotten it most of the time. Every day I start my day by greeting people with “good morning” smiles;

sometimes I found it difficult, cause maybe the night before I have not had enough sleep, or not sleep well or have some argument with my sibling that morning. Or Sometimes I don’t feel like greeting people or don’t feel it is important to do so. It is absolutely Ok! However, because of this sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. Throughout the day, I found out that when I greet people with a Smile- I feel so much better than the day I don’t. This effect is not just that moment; but it lasts for whole day. When I keep doing that, I have an encounter, and the people that I greet most of the time automatically will look into your eye and smile with you too. Isn’t this Awesome?! Every day when I walk in to my office in the morning, the first person I greet is my receptionist. For so many years, she already get used to it and whenever she saw me walk in, we look at each


Page 9 of 39

other and greet with a big smile. I am not making her day, but she makes my day better. “Let Your Smile Change the world; but don’t let the world change your smile”


Page 10 of 39

Exercise Nothing will change, if we are waiting for change

The Change starts with you We might not able to change the world with our small little strength; but we can start to change the world surrounding us, and the people that we meet. Our colleagues, our boss, our friends and our co-workers- you may not like them. Or you can go further, a stranger on the street when you take the bus, take the train or walk on the street. Today you start to practise the change; greet someone you first meet in the morning. It could be your spouse, your children, your parents, your housemate, your course mate. Let’s do it together! Reflection: Who have you greeted today, you may want to write their name down?

2. Smiling Reduces Stress What will you do, when you are stressed out? The majority of the people will opt for good food, shopping, some may choose sleeping or some may go for exercise. It’s doesn’t matter what method you use to de-stress. But today I want you to know that smiling also can have de-stress function. How does it work? Smiling helps to reduce stress. Many of us lead hectic lives- juggling work, family, and demanding schedules. This can easily increase one's stress level. Whenever a person is under a great amount of stress, the body releases high levels of stress hormones called Cortisol into the blood stream. This hormone is produced by the adrenal gland, which in turn increases blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Cortisol is the body's chief stress-fighting hormone produced by the adrenal gland, and it is high during periods of stress. However, it's low when one is relaxing. The decrease in Cortisol is associated with an increase in serotonin and dopamine. Whenever a person smiles, their body relaxes and reduces the level of stress hormones or Cortisol in our blood stream. Without the anxiety but with your smile, you'll enjoy a great amount of stress relief. You will be smiling much more, which has been proven to reduce symptoms associated with anxiety. By reducing stress, you may lower blood pressure, regulate blood sugar, and even improve digestion. Not only will your emotional health improve; but your physical health will increase and your brain will be more productive and creative as well!

Have you ever heard that smiling could help to boost the immune system? It seems that our body works better when we smile- which helps to boost our immune system. We've already established that our stress hormones decrease when we smile. Well, this also allows certain antibodies or immune cells to increase too. Because of the increase in our immune cells, our body is more able to fight off illnesses like the cold or flu. If you ever start feeling a little under the weather- remember to smile- because it could help you to recover faster. Besides, it's been said that one of the best medicines is laughter. With all the new technology and social media, your smiles don't always have to be done in person. When communicating via the web, there are emoticons and smileys you can use online. They're a great way to convey the feeling of joy or happiness if you are chatting on Facebook. Spread the virtual love. Choose from a list of smileys. Share a smile in person as well as online, and check out Facebook smileys.

Exercise A Simple Can Release Your Anxiety How can we able to smile- in spite of our heavy workloads, our circumstances, or by the people surrounding us? How can our smile shout out louder than our problems, our stress and our anxiety? You can go out from the house for a walk in the park and meet people, you can go to see a comedy movie, meet good friends, treat yourself to a nice dessert (which I always do, and I have my favourite café that serve a variety of cakes), or meditation- I will go for a yoga class, after a one hour class, I come out with satisfied feeling!

3. Smiles are Contagious Have you experienced a contagious smile? Do you know how

powerful this smile is? Do you know that a contagious smile can spread over the phone? A few weeks ago, I make a call to the American Express call centre around 9.30pm. It rang about 10-15 minutes, then I get connected to one of the customer service Me: “Hello, I want to check what happen to my points, how can the web site showed “0”? I remembered I have about 6500 points.”

CS: (After all the verification done) “May I know what is your name?” Me: “Chong Lee Chiun” CS: “Hi, Lee Chiun” (first time someone called me by my name), “every month we will transfer your points to krisflyer.” Me: (I Start Smiling..) “Oh. Sorry I am new to AMEX, I didn’t know that it’s work that way.” CS: (she start smiling tune ) “No worry Lee Chiun- have you registered your krisflyer account yet? You want me transfer you to a Krisflyer team? We have a team here to connect you to


Page 15 of 39

Krisflyer’s customer service, or you want to check from the web site first?” Me: “Never Mind, let me check the web site first. Thank you.” CS: “Lee Chiun, thank you for putting the smile on my face. It is a really long queue” (A lot of incoming call) “Thank you.” (Both of us keep smiling on the phone, feeling like we’ve known each other long) That’s how powerful your smile is. I felt so good that night- that I can make someone so happy for the rest of the night. And I didn’t know that the small act can be so meaningful and release someone stress.


Page 16 of 39

Exercise “Let’s Start a War: A War of Kindness!” Let’s start with how practising kindness to other human beings can help you. I know that it might sound strange to some; however being a giving person can reward you in many ways. The biggest and best reward is that ‘warm feeling’ that you get and the knowledge that you have done something to make someone’s day. Today, let’s be kind to others. You might not know that your kindness might help someone to overcome their difficulties at that moment.

4. Smiling Increases Your Confidence

My first hike to Annapurna range How smiling can increase our confidence? Smiling is a bridge to help each of us connected. Every time we smile, we not only make others feel better- but our self-esteem will rise up and it’s also developing our self-worth. When others connect with us, they feel comfortable, trustworthy and confident to work with us. You'll be able to fully be yourself once you don't have to hold anything back. Not to mention that your big smile will be much more attractive than your awkward close-mouth lip smile. Self-consciousness is gone! You think you'll feel right and a great smile can certainly lift your spirits. When we smile, it does also help us to maintain a positive attitude. It also will help us to build healthy relationships all around us. And it is a long term confidence.


Page 18 of 39

Do you believe that someone who smiles often tends to attract more good things and favours from the people surrounding us? Personally experienced- when I visit my client in their office, I only know one to two of them because we work together. But their office has around 600 peoples. Every time I go to their office, I saw their security guards, their receptionist, their plant manager, their engineering department head etc.; and I will give them a smile and nod my head to acknowledge them. Due to smiling to them over the years, they start trusting me and they introduce business dealings to me and they get their vendor to use our services. How can we do that? The only way you have ever known. Is to smile more!

“Confidence is the effect of Smile“


Page 19 of 39

Exercise Let’s practice smiling in front of the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life. Today….Start to smile at another person Smile to waitresses who serve you Smile to a bus driver who is waiting for you Smile to a cashier Smile to a restaurant Chef Smile to the cleaner Smile to the car washer Smile to the promoter Smile to anyone you meet today “Let us always meet each other with a smile for the smile the beginning of Love “- Mother Teresa

5. Smiling is the Key to Unlocking Everybody’s Hearts

Smiling is the key to unlocking our hearts- so that we are able to trust, to communicate, to love, to feel sympathy, to understand others, to able to help, to be allowed to share, and more. Smiling is a facial expression of invitation to tell people that you are ready or willing to interact with them. When our heart is open, it’s so much easier for us to work with others, no matter what area of our life. When we do that to others, we will receive the same response.


Page 21 of 39

It will allow us to be much more approachable, and indirectly it’s helped us to connect to others better and easier for us to make friends. When we are approachable, people who are surrounding us will feel more comfortable to communicate with us, and it’s also building trust for us with others. Trusting doesn’t come easily; it needs time to prove. But smiling can do the best job. Participants from the University of Pittsburgh study rated people who smiled as more trustworthy than people with non-smiling faces.

My personal experience- sometimes when I went to a food stall to order my food, I will give a smiling face to them when specifying how I want my food cooked. Most of the time, they won’t reject me but they will try their best. Sometimes, they even give me extra food and I just pay the standard price. That’s how I know our smile is so important, and can shorten the distance between humans.


Page 22 of 39

Exercise How to make someone smile 1. Write an encouraging note to others that have encouraged you or that need encouragement. Handwritten notes that are given to encourage, not just for thanking someone for a gift, are rare. That makes handwritten notes even more special. Start a new practice of sitting down and writing an encouraging note on a regular basis. 2. Take a friend out to lunch or invite her to your home and cook for them. You will get to know each other even better than you do right now. 3. Praise them, when they did a good job. 4. Deliver a drink or pastry or breakfast to someone who is based in the office during working hours. 5. A Simple “Thank you” with a smile. This is how I make someone happy. Do it when you feel that you need it!

6. A Smile Make You looks Younger & Healthier

My Aunty celebrates her 60th birthday in 2016 Have you had an experience before- when someone is guessing your age- that the answer is younger than your actual age? What do you feel? You will feel very happy the whole day. Research proved that our facial expression has a big impact on


Page 24 of 39

how old we appear. Do you agree? Smiling can make you look more youthful, beautiful and attractive. I have been observing and seeing people all around me- those who smile every day, they look much younger than the others who have frowning faces. Their lives are full of energy to face each day in life! Since I took up hiking, I have this group of hiking friends, they are mostly are retirees, and they retire not because they are rich, but they have reached a certain age. You know how old they are- they are older than me; and I am the youngest in the group. But guess what- they have so much energy and strength to pursue things that they can’t do in their younger age; and this could be due to family and working issues. But they have the “never give up” spirit, and indirectly they inspired me. I remember when we were trekking the India Nanda Dewi trek, on the 3rd day of trekking day, it was a long day, and we had been walking for 7 hours plus, and we still hadn’t reached our campsite. I’m so tired, and I wanted to find a sleeping area. But we have a female friend; she had previously injured her back and couldn’t walk as fast as we did- so she had been assigned one porter to follow her pace. By the time she reached the campsite, we had cleaned up and made dinner and were ready to sleep. It was around 9pm when she walked past my campsite; I only can hear her because she was talking with her smiling face. She never complains, and that night I suddenly felt that, the positive and “can do” energy, no matter how tough the situation.


Page 25 of 39

Self-Reflection: That night onward, I told myself I want to be like her, have a strong mind and positive energy to make my day. My day is not defined by others. It is created by me; I need to take charge of my own happiness and inner peace.


Page 26 of 39

Exercise Take charge of your day, you define your own

Anything that costs your peace is too expensive Today, no matter what happens in your day, you just need to tell yourself that you are in good hands. You do not need to respond to the situation, or to people who are trying to insult

you, discourage you, or step on you. Don’t take it for yourself; you just need a respond with a sweet smile. It’s ok, you can’t control it for the first few times- but remember to start from a small step, and change in small steps… one day you will be

able to see the bigger you.

7. Smiling Increases Your Productivity

How Smiling can increase productivity? Smiling can diminish negativity--revitalizing and boosting your productivity. Studies have proved that a few minutes of smiling and laughter motivates people to work harder and can even enhance creativity Smiling can give our brain a boost; positive attitude-prone people often smile more. Smiling can increase our brain activity; the more positive your thoughts- the more you smile and the better your brain functions. What happens when you smile and brain boosts? 1. You will be able to work better with others. People who always smile, their energy level will increase, they are more fun to work with and they have a better relationship with others.


Page 28 of 39

2. Happy people are more creative. They are able to come up with more innovative ideas and designs. It also leads to more flexible, fluent and original thinking. 3. Happy people fix problem easily and make better decisions. When you are happy- your brain will have less tension and be more active. Indirectly we will be able to think much deeper and sharper in short spaces of time. This is because happiness takes away our destruction and worries; allowing for more narrowed focus. .

CONCLUSION Thank you for downloading this eBook. The Right Smile Creates the Right Atmosphere. Smile- as an act has much potential in it.

The very moment that someone looks at you, they can understand what kind of a person you are and all about your nature. I feel it is a very great tool to reduce stress.
