The value of a smile.

Today I will be a little daring. First, because I'd never posted a blog infographic, and secondly because I will not try a deep subject and “serious”, Or actually if…?

Today, and to dismiss the year, I wanted to address an issue from my point of view is of great importance both in education and in life. Do you have realized how important kids smile? They do it naturally, then, Why not respond in the same way?

I hope that among other things, This will serve to smile more, and give your smile to those who are on your side.

I hope 2015 comes loaded with smiles!

I, if you let me, I will smile at your side.
