Image is everything

Have you heard of "What you see is what you get", "you are what you appear to be","first impression is the last impression", etc. Well! if you pay attention to all of these sayings/phrases you will notice a common message; which is that people are very quick to judge and categorize.

It is just human nature that when we see something we make a judgement on that thing within the first 30 seconds. Our brain then classifies the item that we see and assigns a category to it based on our predisposed notions. Our brain also quickly separates what we see in to whether we like it or not. All of this happens within the first 30 secs.

Therefore when you go to meet someone, especially for the first time, you need to take extra care to prepare yourself for the meeting. Dress professionally, smile, and be polite. Do not emit any negativity.
