" Look at the single words below; wear these emotions on your face for just a moment. Try them on for size and note how they make you feel:

Happiness. Fear. Anger. Sadness. Contempt. Surprise. Disgust.

These are the basic human emotions which communicate with clear understanding across cultures, languages, and countries. In other words, a smile naturally conveys happiness and a frown naturally conveys sadness, no matter where you may be using your passport. "
