English Vietnamese Proverb

"Một nụ cười bằng mười thang thuốc bổ.
Laughter is the best medicine."

I agree with this proverb. What do you think if your friend or your co-worker never smiles? What a hard man/woman. I think smile help us reduce stress after work, help everyone become friendly.
"smile" is defined as "to make a happy or friendly expression in which the corners of your mouth curve up" (Cambridge Dictionary)
So, let's smile whenever we can.
