In my neighborhood, there was a fellow who had this unnerving habit of acting so...damn...happy.
Over time, though, I kept watching this cheery guy, and nothing horrible ever happened to him. He got a few promotions; his kids grew up and went to good schools; he took fabulous second and third honeymoons with his wife. In fact, he just kept on acting happy. And the weird thing is, I think he knew a secret: If you act happy, you'll be happy.
