His message is that when facing difficulties in life, some people lose hope and cry, which only makes the situation worse. Instead, he advises accepting challenges with a smile, as smiling can convert emotions that travel back to the mind to strengthen one's belief and provide strength to deal with problems. No matter how bad things are, don't forget to smile in difficult times, as it boosts morale and one will realize how such a small expression can change one's whole world, whether in business, personal life, or at home by attracting positive thoughts.
