A range of feelings
Crying is more than a symptom of sadness. It can also be triggered by empathy, surprise, anger, or grief.

Flight Effects on Passengers
While we are on a flight, there are plenty of changes that we can experience:
- Change in brain chemistry and memory due to the deficiency in oxygen.
- Cognitive deficits in people who are already ill.
- Increased tiredness and more yawning during the flight.
- Deterioration in vision, dryness of skin, change in taste of food due to a reduction in the sensitivity of our taste buds and a decrease in the sense of smell.
- Change in air-pressure makes passengers generally uncomfortable with the sitting.
The Anxious Flight Passenger
Mood swings, along with general anxiety or nervousness are common among flight passengers.

- People are also prone to severe mood swings, like having extreme emotional reactions to movie scenes which would otherwise appear normal to them.

Closing A Hiring Pitch
Bring the hiring pitch home with personal stories that show how people authentically live out your company’s mission. Pixar’s films often start from a real, personal story.
Your company’s big-picture mission might be inspiring, but it’s not necessarily personal. You can make it more personal by peppering your pitches with personal anecdotes about ways that you’ve changed.
Feeding Interest With The Promise Of Change
After you’ve hooked your audience/candidate, you need to catch their attention and get the story moving by animating it with change and transformation. In Pixar’s movies, that change isn’t just about reversals of fortune—they’re about personal transformation.
Great stories promise to change the life of the protagonist who we imagine ourselves to be, if not our own. In light of that, recruiters should focus on how candidates’ lives will change—not just their day-to-day tasks, but also how the new role will change the way they feel.
