The First Impression !

"You never get a second chance to make a first impression" 

I was about to join my first job ever and the more I thought about my joining, the more it was about making that perfect "first impression". You know that nervousness, that anxiety that surrounds you when you are about to venture into something new, something different...you don't want to make any mistakes. 

Its been exactly a month since I joined, an eventful month indeed. So much has changed, yet so much is exactly the same. I have un-learnt and re-learnt few things as well. But one thing I know today for sure is that "first impression is never the last impression. For me it has changed practically for every individual I had met in this one month. 

First impression is never about what a person actually is, it is always about your perception of that person. Any human is such complex a character that the ones that are so very close to him, even they fail to understand him at times. Humans are designed to be a complicated mix of emotions, feelings and characteristics. They are bound  to follow a random behavioral curve. How can then, we be so quick with our judgement about a person, and at times take decisions based on those quick and at times false intuitions. 

Infact most of the times, we form this impression, by comparing the other person with our own self. the farther he is from our own ways and means of evaluating things, the lower is the impression. 

Well all this doesn't really mean that stop forming any image of a person in your mind in the first meeting itself, that's just so inevitable. But yes, we must give enough space and chances to a person to reform that image and show his true self, that might just be far more better than what you think he was!!!
