You take away all the other luxuries in life, and if you can make someone smile and laugh, you have given the most special gift: happiness.

Making someone smile and laugh is the best gift you can give them, even if you don't have many other luxuries in life. Bringing happiness to others is more important than having a lot of material things. The most valuable thing you can do is to make people feel good and brighten their day.
