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

 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 :)
