When we meet someone or anyone new, we have about 10 seconds before the other person has make up their mind about us. According to Dale Carnegie's six must in his 1936 book "How to win friends and influence people" is SMILE. The smile is powerful tools as when shown at others, it immediately changes the setting of the mood around us and also a quick glance to what you are thinking.
However what he states about quick smiles and instant grins never really work in the sophisticated world we have nowadays. Look at the world leaders and corporates giants, there are hardly a smiling face among them. Key players of all walks of life enrich their smiles so that when it erupts, the world smiles with them. All big winners know that their smile is one of their most powerful tool,therefore they learn to fine tune their smiles.
Once, there was a study concerning women in business which showed women who smile slower were perceived as more credible. The study showed that big warm smile are an asset. But when brought slower,it has more credibility. To put in other words, The smile will feel more genuine to the person and makes it feel like it is specially for them. Over the next few days, observe the smiles of those around you. Who are the people usually seen as the most credible? These people will almost always have a slow, sincere smile.Try it.
