Difference in crying

According to the German Society of Ophthalmology, which has collated different scientific studies on crying, women cry on average between 30 and 64 times a year, and men between 6 and 17 times per year.

Men tend to cry for between two and four minutes, and women cry for about six minutes. Crying turns into sobbing for women in 65% of the cases, compared to just 6% for men. Until adolescence, however, no difference between the sexes was found. Once middle age rolls around, things may change — as hormones once again begin to shift, men may cry more and women less.

As you start a new business, you are usually unaware of the storms waiting for you on your route. Especially in today’s unsteady world you are also a slave of the luck factor. I have not seen any one entrepreneur who didn’t “cry”. Sometimes you might also go into the physical mode of crying. You might even make a habit of crying even without any serious reason for it just to use it as a means of getting your aims realised easier. 🙂

As someone who has “cried” a lot in his time I can tell you not to be afraid of crying. Only make sure that crying does not make you extremely sentimental.
