Famous Cary G. Weldy Quotes

“In another surprising study published in 2010 in the journal Psychological Science, researchers Ernest Abel and Michael Kruger of Wayne State University examined vintage photos of 230 major league baseball players from the 1952 season, comparing the lifespans of the 184 players who had already died. Of the players’ photos in the baseball cards, 40% showed no smile, 42% showed a partial smile, and 18% had a full smile. Those players who had no smiles lived an average of 72.9 years, while those with partial smiles had a lifespan of 75 years. However, those with big authentic grins lived to be 79.9 years on average, approximately 10% longer than those who did not smile in their photographs. The researchers could not confirm whether any of the players were prompted by the photographer to smile for their photos or if they smiled spontaneously. At the same time, the data seems to suggest that distributed images of smiling people result in a longer, happier life. So smile in your photos!”

“Advertisers have known for decades what researchers are verifying in numerous studies: Images contain information and energy that profoundly affect your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Images determine your future.”

“There are tremendous amounts of energy and information packed into a single image, including your personal story. Your tattoo also contains the emotions, thoughts, and actions that make your story even bigger. Other energies that we are often do not see, such as color, emotion, shape, and symbology, are also embedded in that image. This data is packed in a tattoo much like a movie is packed on a DVD, where that energy can be accessed and released so that you and others experience it over and over again.”

“Another study conducted by the University of California found that nearly “invisible” images shown for only ten thousandths of a second have the same effect as clearly noticeable images seen for a fifth of a second. Behavior was also impacted based on whether or not the image was negative or positive. These studies suggest that your tattoos, whether positive or negative, profoundly impact your emotional state, behaviors, and well-being.”

“When we are around people as well as images, we began taking on their moods and emotions. Resonance is the driving force that makes this transference of energy and information happen. On a biological level, mirror neurons are part of the physical mechanism that causes us to emulate the images around us.”
