A Genuine Smile

Here is a nice genuine smile by HSBC Group Chairman Stephen Green in Hong Kong today. He has a friendly face. I bet he smiles a lot. Do you see the warmth exuded from the eyes?

HSBC Group Chairman Stephen Green attends a news conference to announce the lender's 2010 interim results in Hong Kong August 2, 2010. HSBC's half-year profit more than doubled from a year ago as bad debts fell sharply, and Europe's biggest bank said it remained bullish on the outlook for emerging markets.

Services Committee hearing yesterday on the new START
(Strategic Arms Reduction) Treaty.

Here is a man who is serious and intent in getting his message across, do you think? Either that, or he has a dislike for cameras pointed at him. This expression is similar to the expression made by Melky Cabrera on Wednesday (though it has less tension and isn’t quite as threatening). We see glaring in the eyes, and a pursed lips. You know the old saying, “If looks could kill…”

If you see someone make this expression to you in public, they are giving you a strong message to back off, and I would heed their facial warning, without question. This is not a friendly face.
