The Power of Saliva in Practice

Fig 1: Selling products to me. Photo taken by Apple Looi. 

I was tagged in Facabook and then I realised a student of mine wrote the following as the caption of the above photo:

thank you our "client", Dr. Tan for supporting us by buying 5 of our "products". we really appreciate it! and dear Dr., we already prove that the "power of saliva" and "sympathy face" is really work!!

This reminds me of my lecture about Empathy and James-Lange Theory of emotion. The students who were taking Entrepreneurship course were instructed to sell nine boxes of fruit jelly. They managed to touch my heart by showing pity face. Ok, they have practiced what I taught them on me, and it worked!
