How does it feel?

In Human Emotion, we're learning about FACS (Facial Action Coding System). You can use it to identify emotions people are feeling according to which facial muscle groups are contracted at that moment. So... if I have a lot of facial expressions does that mean I'm more emotional person? If you don't show emotion on your face, are you less emotional?



Watched a TED talk with Steve Jobs speaking at a Stanford graduation:

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something...almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.

I wonder if we'd get anything done if we didn't have death hanging over our heads to motivate us?
