Answer to Question 1

Zach has to engage in surface acting on a daily basis. He has to smile and act positive regardless of his felt emotions in order to be successful. Certainly there will be times when Zach has emotional dissonance, or feels a disparity between his true emotions and how he must appear to his clients. Zach's job would require a fair amount of rest and relaxation for him to continue to be successful. Zach uses his emotions and moods positively to guide his clients into making quick decisions in the purchase of his products. People in good moods tend to make quicker decisions. Zach also applies his moods to stay motivated, to walk out the door into the field every day. Each sale is a tiny negotiation and Zach must have a bit of a poker face, not letting the client know the true impact of the sale on his life. Finally, Zach applies his moods and positive emotions to provide excellent customer service to his clients. He spreads his good mood through emotional contagion and is able to get his customers to make larger orders and remain loyal to him in the competitive pharmaceutical industry.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
