Life needs a sweet smile and you need to smile when you are frustrated.NOTE: This is hard to translate meaningfully from Chinese to Enlish.The direct translation "Life needs to smile" doesn't make sense in Englishbecause LIFE = plants + animals + micro-organisms. I would say, "We as humans need to smile when frustrated."
This is a good example of how direct translation sometimes doesn't work . . .
A warm smile!

Your life needs a sweet smile; and you need to smile when you are frustrated.
Here I take "sweet smile" as a simile against the unspoken converse, and your own need to smile as a confirmation.
So, I view your use of "smile" as a simile against a frown. So, your life (not life generally) needs a sweet smile (rather than a frown)."
I may be completely wrong, of course, so consider that as a real possibility.
