Thought Tweet #460 Gather specks of agreement...make a molehill and use it to construct a mountain of agreement.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
There are many reasons why this is true. Here's one: when we are happy our faces show it, then others register that fact, and that at the very least eases situations. Happiness tends to be contagious.
