1. Notice their quiet moments. That’s when they’re easiest to reach.

2. Stand where they’re not looking. People smile more when they’re startled.

3. Wait for them to speak first. Then finish the rest of their sentence for them.

4. Hold your smile longer than they do. Long enough for them to wonder why.

5. If they walk away, follow one step behind. Close enough to hear their thoughts.

6. Don’t force it. They always smile eventually.
