As is well known by now throughout the world Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts created the smiley face in 1963. That image went on to become the most recognizable symbol of good will and good cheer on the planet.
World Smile Day 2023 As the years passed Harvey Ball became concerned about the over-commercialization of his symbol, and how its original meaning and intent had become lost in the constant repetition of the marketplace. Out of that concern came his idea for World Smile Day.
He thought that we, all of us, should devote one day each year to smiles and kind acts throughout the world. The smiley face knows no politics, no geography and no religion. Harvey’s idea was that for at least one day each year, neither should we. He declared that the first Friday in October each year would henceforth be World Smile Day®. Ever since that first World Smile Day® held in 1999, it has continued every year in Smiley’s hometown of Worcester, MA and around the world.
World Smile Day 2023 Mother Teresa once said, “Peace begins with a smile” and since we feel that the most wasted of all days is one without laughter, we can’t help but smile a little more this mid-week, ahead of World Smile Day, because a genuine smile has the remarkable ability to not only lift our own spirits but also brighten the day of those around us, mend relationships, ease tension and bridge gaps between strangers as a universal language of positivity and connection, transcending cultural and linguistic boundaries.
In moments of joy, a smile becomes a beacon of celebration while in times of sorrow, it offers solace and support as it is a gift we can give freely, an expression of our inner light that has the potential to change the world one joyful grin at a time hence, participating in World Smile Day is a simple way to make the world a better place with this simple yet powerful gesture that radiates warmth, happiness and kindness.
