Happiest Days
By Edward H. DonnellyI said to the little children,
"You are living your happiest days,"
And their bright eyes opened wider In innocent amaze.
For their happiness was so perfect,
They did not know it then;
"Oh, no," they said, "there'll be happier days
When we are women and men."
I said to the youth and maiden,
"You are living your happiest days,"
And into their sparkling eyes there crept
A dreamy, far-off gaze;
And their hands sought one another,
And their cheeks flushed rosy red;
" Oh, no," they said, " there'll be happier days
For us when we are wed."
I said to the man and woman,
"You are living your happiest days,"
As they laughingly watched together
Their baby's cunning ways.
"These days are days of labor.
They can hardly be our best;
There'll be happier days when the children are grown,
And we have earned our rest."
I said to the aged couple,
"You are living your happiest days,"
Your children do you honor,
You have won success and praise.
" With a peaceful look they answered,
"God is good to us, that's true: But we think there are happier days for us
In the life we're going to."
It might be an age-old idea to judge people based on the way they look or the way they portrayed themselves and that might have nothing to do with the capabilities have someone to get the job done but all the same, people do judge people based on their first impressions that are entirely dependent upon outlook, dressing, and grooming. It might be long before this way of society can be changed so until then if you want to give the best outlook and have people impressed by you then you need to start focusing on the little things that you might have thought do not matter.

The first thing you want to focus on is your posture. you’ve probably never seen yourself walk but you should know there are people who walk in a dominant confident way while other people do not seem that confident. In order to work on your own walk, it would be a good idea to record yourself walking and then watch it to see how you look to yourself because that is how you probably look to others as well. If you have a slouch then you should ask someone you are around often to keep reminding you not to slouch so that over time you get used to walking up straight.
Many people know that they need to be well dressed to give a good outlook but what they don’t know is that they also need to make sure they have the right hairstyle to go with what they do. Something too funky can appear to be unprofessional so you want to make sure you have a decent haircut all the time. Make sure you hold a smile on your face as you walk down the road and try to give off some positive energy to bring out the best in yourself.
