I was an introvert(内向的人) by 36 . For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had 37 been easy. The key to a sincere smile, 38 , is simple. It’s to be 39 . But that’s the source of the problem. When meeting people, 40 being excited, I often felt upset.

And I call this technique “Oh, it’s Jamie!” When I meet someone, I imagine an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend when we were 47 kids. It’s 48 why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make. And it’s not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well.
And the best part, whenever you’re friendly to others, they turn friendly 49 . You’re not hearing this from me. Some research done by scientists actually 50 this claim. So do remember to give it a try.
Three years ago at the age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and decided that I was 51 . 52 of my life, I set about 53 dramatic changes and now I have become a popular writer. My 54 reflects that nothing is too difficult if you 55 bravely.
