A glad heart makes a happy face; a broken heart crushes the spirit.Proverbs 15:13
What makes your heart glad?
• Your face shows your heart.
• Others know your heart by what they see on your face.
• A smile is your best facial!

“Do Right”
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" means
• to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
• to use (another's production) without crediting the source
• to commit literary theft
• to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source
In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.
