Smilismschool@yahoo.comI am from Asia and I worked in a square where torist came to visit the monuments built all about it .I liked to talk to tourists and invited them to our home.I inveited them to our home without hesitation and they under many pretexts rejected my request.I was 16 and it was a blow to my sensaions.In family since my parents were old and struggling all the time ,it was the best way to pour out all the problems of the home by talking to tourists.Anyway I did not know how to cajole them into coming to our home.Any time I invited them they rejected and I was looking for solution.
One day it occured to me that there must be ways in order to cajole them to our home.From that moment I did not invited them at the begining of the coversation.I kept speaking until we became more familiar with each other and let them have my tel number.In this way they were not forced to accept my invitation.It lasted for 2 years for me to find the way.So I gave my tel number and asked them to telephone me if they were pleased.I had some privilages.1 -I was all the time smiling and althogh i was not happy inside.2- I had a very simple bicycle without any break and it made me innocent in their eyes 3.I was about 18 and they did not expect any threat from me.The first 3 tourists I invited were from Malaisia and some friends of mine followed me through the home.Little by little many people followed the population and the tourist became like presidents of a counrry visiting other countries. It was unbelievable for me to have guest from Iran let alone Malesia.Around 200 people were shouting and I was considered as leader of them and they praised me very much.My English was broken and whatever I did not underestand I siad you are right.Anyway from that moment I went to English class and worked in a shop designing on copper until 25 and was admitted at Uni in English and now MA of law.Since the age of 18 I have invited about 1000tourists to our home althogh it is not as easy as it seemes to be.The responsibility of a human being esp when he or she is considered as a guest is of high importants.Any way you can do whatever you like if you find the basic rules in order not to waste your time.NOw I have many friends around the world althogh I have met just 2 foreign countries and when they come to our home it seems that I have met them in their own countries.After that I founded the school of smilism and try to make others happy as much as possible.here I explain some rules of smilism and let you have it/
