Someone asked me this week if I thought we really can have "it all". My immediate answer Was "of course" ,but after thinking it over, I concluded that it depends on a lot of things. In my opinion, the answer of whether or not you can have" it all' has to vary from person to person because we are all so different, and everyone has a differing definition(定義) of" it alt". In fact, I believe that even the same individual's definition of" it all" varies over their life. Most babies believe they have "it all' when they are in the arms of their mommy enjoying a good meal. That's all it takes! But, as that baby matures, their definitions become more complex, and finding" it all" becomes increasingly a private matter.

I have learned a lot of important life lessons during my search to have" it all". It began in Junior High School ,when to have" it all' meant having my own room, getting HBO, and being on the" A volleyball team at school. And, yes, I achieved those goals mad had" it all". At least for a  little while. Because the first lesson I learned about having "it all" is that as soon as you get" it all", you want more!

In High School, I thought I only needed one thing to have" it all". I wanted so badly to be a member of the Madrigal Singers, a famous choir sponsored by our school. I finally worked up the nerve to audition(試唱) ,despite the fact that no one had ever told me I had a special singing talent or that my voice was unique. At least, until my audition, when the director of the choir had no problem telling me how LITTLE talent I had! When I didn't make the choir, I learned that if my definition of having" it all" means having something that isn't a god-given gift, I will always be defeated, lf, however, I choose to pursue goals that fit with the talents I have, the chance to have" it all' is unlimited!

A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when interpreting facial emotions( 情感). The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard, such as Japan, focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions. Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed, such as the United States, the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotion.

"These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized, "said University of Alberta researcher Dr. Takahiko Mesuda. "A person's culture plays a very strong role in determining how they will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting facial expression."

These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons( 情感符號(hào)), which are used to convey a writer's emotions over email and text messaging. The Japanese emoticons for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn, while American emoticons vary with the direction of the mouth. In the United States the emoticons: ) and: - ) show a happy face, whereas the emoticons: ( or: - ( show a sad face. However, Japanese tend to use the symbol(%_~) to indicate a happy face, and( ;_;)to indicate a sad face.

"We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that a culture tends to mask its emotions. The Japanese would focus on a person's eyes when determining emotion, as eyes tend to be quite subtle(微妙的) ,"said Masuda. "In the United States, where open emotion is quite common, it makes sense to focus on the mouth, which is the most expressive feature on a person's face."
