the problem with these stories is that they show what the data shows: women systematically underestimate their own abilities. if you test men and women, and you ask them questions on totally objective criteria like gpas, men get it wrong slightly high, and women get it wrong slightly low. women do not negotiate for themselves in the workforce. a study in the last two years of people entering the workforce out of college showed that 57 percent of boys entering, or men, i guess, are negotiating their first salary, and only seven percent of women. and most importantly, men attribute their success to themselves, and women attribute it to other external factors. if you ask men why they did a good job,they'll say, "i'm awesome. obviously. why are you even asking?" if you ask women why they did a good job, what they'll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard.

i said, "you're thinking about this just way too early." but the point is that what happens once you start kind of quietly leaning back? everyone who's been through this — and i'm here to tell you, once you have a child at home, your job better be really good to go back, because it's hard to leave that kid at home. your job needs to be challenging. it needs to be rewarding. you need to feel like you're making a difference. and if two years ago you didn't take a promotion and some guy next to you did, if three years ago you stopped looking for new opportunities,you're going to be bored because you should have kept your foot on the gas pedal. don't leave before you leave. stay in. keep your foot on the gas pedal, until the very day you need to leave to take a break for a child — and then make your decisions. don't make decisions too far in advance, particularly ones you're not even conscious you're making.

longitudinal study that examined the photos of students in an old yearbook and tried to measure their success and well-being throughout their life. by measuring their student smiles, researchers were able to predict how fulfilling and long-lasting a subjects marriage will be, how well she would score on standardized tests of well-being and how inspiring she would be to others. in another yearbook, i stumbledupon barry obamas picture. when i first saw his picture, i thought that these superpowers came from his super collar. but now i know it was all in his smile. nother aha! moment came from a 20xx wayne state university research project that looked into pre-1950s baseball cards of major league players. the researchers found that the span of a players smile could actually predict the span of his life. players who didnt smile in their pictures lived an average of only years, where players with beaming smiles lived an average of almost 80 years.

so many people under estimate the power and importance of a smile, that simple little facial expression characterized by an upward curving of the corners ofthe mouth.

a smile has many meanings: pleasure, friendliness, welcome, amusement, and many more; and it is part of a universal body language that doesnsquo;t need any extrainter pretation.

plus a smile, with all its simplicity and beauty, can be a very important factor in many aspects of our lives:

you fall in love with a new country you visit because its people greet you with a welcoming smile everywhere you go; other countries you just donsquo;t like even though they might have more history, nature, entertainment and what not because their people donsquo;t seem so friendly or accepting.

you feel like buying from a certain store when the vendor welcomes you in with asmile, sometimes even if you wouldnsquo;t initially have bought anything; and in other stores, even though they have exactly what you need or better, you decide to walk away because the vendor doesnsquo;t look welcoming at all.

you want to give a waiter a good tip when he serves you with a smile, even if the food turns out not that good; on the other hand, sometimes yousquo;ll have some of the best food ever, but you wonsquo;t feel like giving the waiter a tip, even if you do, because he was grumpy.

more and more examples from our everyday life show how much a simple smile can change everything.

forever engraved in my mind will be the smiling faces of the people of thailand, the friendly pizza delivery boy, the welcoming supermarket vendor, the nice cashier at the bank, … etc.

it is these smiles that keep me wanting to go back, and that keep us all wanting to go back; looking at it from another view, if we break it down using business sense, a smile is one of the most effective means to generate sales and develop customer loyalty.

on top of all that, a smile is a very simple and easy thing to do, so it amazes why no one bothers to do it, it not only makes the person in front of you better, but it also makes you feel better as well, and isquo;m not making this up,it has been psychologically proven.

personally, isquo;d like to see more smiling faces in this world; in the airports when i enter a new country, in companies, government agencies, restaurants, hotels, banks,everywhere; and i think it is up to governments to campaign about this, and even make it obligatory in certain important places like airports, hospitals,hotels … etc.

years later, i was on my second teaching round in a melbourne high school, and i was about 20 minutes into a year 11 legal studies class when this boy put up his hand and said, "hey miss, when are you going to start doing your speech?" and i said, "what speech?" you know, i'd been talking them about defamation law for a good 20 minutes. and he said, "you know, like, your motivational speaking. you know, when people in wheelchairs come to school, they usually say, like, inspirational stuff?" "it's usually in the big hall." and that's when it dawned on me: this kid had only ever experienced disabled

people as objects of inspiration. we are not, to this kid -- and it's not his fault, i mean, that's true for many of us. for lots of us, disabled people are not our teachers or our doctors or our manicurists. we're not real people. we are there to inspire. and in fact, i am sitting on this stage looking like i do in this wheelchair, and you are probably kind of expecting me to inspire you. right? (laughter) yeah.

the problem is that — let's say she got pregnant that day, that day — nine months of pregnancy, three months of maternity leave, six months to catch your breath — fast-forward two years, more often — and as i've seen it — women start thinking about this way earlier — when they get engaged, or married, when they start thinking about having a child, which can take a long time. one woman came to see me about this. she looked a little young. and i said, "so are you and your husband thinking about having a baby?" and she said, "oh no, i'm not married." she didn't even have a boyfriend.

you will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions, using your body in new ways,approaching new people, and asking new questions. you will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take. you will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. you will never succumb to challenges of hardships. you will never waver in your pursuit of excellence. after all,you are the best, and you deserve the best!

as your coach and friend, i can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. you must do your part, you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan, you must never quit, you must never fear. i know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed!
