The Idea: You never know how you're connected to someone. The person you see every day on the street could be the person who will one day save your life.
Institute one day a week where you greet a stranger. Make eye contact, say hello and smile!
The Cost: A smile
The Benefit: You might brighten someone's day, make a friend, develop a valuable business contact, or simply improve your own day. Don't be discouraged if the person doesn't respond!
Tell me what you think of this idea!

My hello day went ok...I said hi to a few people, some of whom grunted an unintelligible response. LOL. But I didn't let that stop me, and I felt better having greeted some people.
Know what else I noticed? Because I was smiling and cheerful more people said hello to ME on Wednesday than normal.
I guess it's all about being open and approachable. :)
So Wednesdays is officially my regular Hello Day. I met a friend this past Wednesday after saying hello. Apparently, I'd always looked so serious, he hadn't wanted to say anything before.
We struck up a conversation, and he also happens to be Jamaican...all from a simple hello! :)
