First impression, it's just a matter of perception. We usually visualize one based on first meeting. "Is it right to envisage a person based on first impression?"
The day we start our journey towards life, neighbouring people start judging us; and distinguish in their 'Good Books & Bad Books.' The day we go for admission in school, till the last breath of our life; sadly we are always critiqued by the people. We judge by age and gender or where we live; by our education or by title or occupation; by the language we speak or by our nation; by a skin colour or by awards received; by what we spend or by what we give; ; by our past or our deeds; by one's appearance; fact is, we judge it all !!! Does it have a value?
Whether it is the first interview (school admission) or the first job of our life, whether it is our way of becoming friends or to introduce oneself, whether it is to show the way to an unfamiliar or to share memories with an acquaintance, whether it is our first step into real world or to maintain our relations; we are always disconcerting of what people will think of us. Counting other people's sins does not make you a saint. Every person has an uniqueness. Don't be afraid to do something just because you're scared of what people are going to say about you. Remember the saying by Albert Einstein.....
First impression are often formed when people observe others for the first time and use those observations to determine their personality traits. According to researchers, it has been proven that we form our first impression within the first 7 seconds of meeting. There is no incertitude in it that first impressions do matter at some place; but it's just, how do you want to be perceived? First impression is the last impression, you will never get a second chance to make it. It's really important when it comes to making an impression in an interview, social gathering, conferences, meeting for marriage, customers for product, making friends; basically it's our whole life. If you are really fret about how people are going to deem you, you should showcase the real you.
Suppose a case, you are travelling in train and their are many persons nearby you, the person next to your seat is not too well dressed, you judge that person based on it. But, at night when you are about to sleep you came to know you forgot to bring your blanket and that same person offer you with the same; would you accept the help? Will you reject the assist based on the first impression? Is it always right to judge a person on first picture?
First impression in a way gives you leverage whether you are physically present or not. Always keep in mind making first impressions is really not a talent you need to be born with, it can certainly be learned; you can spotlight yourself in a way that makes it easy for people to find you, relate to you, choose you and see your true value. If we have to move people to action we must impress and influence, we must be one of a kind rather than one of the crowd.
First impression can be used as our personal branding, it happens in a split second and are sticky so they have a very significant and lasting effect on how we are perceived over time. First impressions are supposed to be a glimpse into what someone is like, not a final call to who he or she truly is. Don't let a first impression be the guiding point to someone's overall demeanor. Everyone deserves more than just an initial judgment call. Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. First impression is the last impression you can't change that first impression without spending time with that person and manifest the real you.
