    One of the research articles from the presentation was all about how smiling is perceived in different cultures. It would be interesting to do a follow-up of this experiment in other cultures as well to see if the smile-leniency effect still exists.

Life is valuable; it just depends on how you choose to look at it.…

This is simply not true. When informing a woman she should smile, it is not a way to make a woman happy, it is a way of informing her that her real emotions are not nearly as important as the way that she appears to the strangers around her.…
