An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his
45 year's old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window

The Father asked his Son, "What is this?"

The Son replied "It is a crow".

After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time,
"What is this?"

The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow".

After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time,
"What is this?"

At this time some ex-pression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone
when he said to his Father with a rebuff.
"It's a crow, a crow".

A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time,
"What is this?"

This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me
the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times
'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"

A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old
tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a
page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the
following words were written in the diary:-

"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa,when a
crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I
replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each
time h e asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not
at all feel irritated. I rather felt affection for my innocent child".

While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father
had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and
when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son
felt irritated and annoyed.

So...

If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as
a burden, but speak to them a gracious word; be cool, obedient,humble and
kind to them. Be considerate to your parents.


From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever.
They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always
showered their selfless love on me. They crossed all mountains and valleys
without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the
Society today".

Say a prayer to God, "I will serve my old parents in the BEST way.
I will say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no matter
how they behave. When I am old, I do not want my child to repeat the words
when the crow perches on my window".

your story is worth reading especially for teenagers in europe,america,....who take their parents to the house of the old people coz they no longer feel affection towards them. But don't forget to take care of your mother as well. she has spent days and nights to ring you up !

First Impression

How many of us judge people by the way they talk or by the way they answer the phone or even by the way they walk. All of us form opinions about people the first time we see or hear them .we sometimes form opinions before we have never met them

It takes just a quick glance, maybe three seconds, for someone to evaluate you when you meet for first time. In this short time, the other person forms opinion about you based on your appearance, your body language and how you are dressed. Although the first impression takes less than three seconds, it lasts for months or years. One study says, "Body language accounts for 55% of first impression; what we say is just 7%". So, it's necessary to know how to create a good impression because it's extremely important for building relationships with other people in social life or career. We have heard this saying, "you never get a second chance to make a good first impression ". People's impression of us is very significant and we should work hard to make sure that first one is a good one .The dark side in this case that the first impression is
virtually irreversible

Finally, keep in your mind: first Impression is the last impression and its human nature to constantly evaluate your visual and behavioral appearance from head to toe
.

Questions

Do you agree or disagree that the first impression is the last impression ?


Do you think it's necessary to know how to create a good first impression ?

How do you form your opinions about people ?

hi, everybody! yea here manyint-ng facts about first impression. but i`m not agree with all of them. for example with that idea the 1st impression is the last impression coz when i was  in the 7th form i met a boy who behaved like a girl so i don`t liked him it seems me strange but after some years his character is really changed & now he is one of my best friends. yea that`s true!

Hi dears i must be agree with you all because every coin has two sides if we talk about impress anyone we should try to make our first impression best impression suppose you have to walk through an interview what would you try to do? Of course you'd like to make your first impression best impression but whenever we need to judge others we should try to be a little kind to them i also think we cant judge any one in first sight but we all do don't we ? and of course sometimes it depends on our mood too its my suggestion if you like ,should we discusse here how to make our first impression best imperssin , i'd love to know your ideas

I don`t think that the 1st impression will become the last impression, you can`t judge people whether they are good or not only from 1st impression.Usually when we meet people for the 1st time, they will behave maybe a bit ashamed though they`re not...(just like me, if I meet someone for the 1st time, I used to being quiet, not too much talking, whereas Iam a bit talkative whenever I am gathering with my friends..)..

It needs time to know more about people..

As far as for me... I'd stay away from that person .. I'd end the meeting in a polite way .. and never ask about that person again :)
