Topic : First impression tells a lot about a person. do you agree or disagree? | |
|
As our societies get complicated, human relationships have been tough these days. People can’t easily get mixed up with others and try to judge others by their own judgments. Meanwhile, some people tend to view people by first impression while others take time. However I myself strongly agree with former people because I have a viewpoint that people’s first impression tells many stories about them. People’s first appearances tell their personality and usually it does not change eventually.
To begin with, we can see people’s characters by their first impressions. Here, let say a woman is taking a blind date with a man who met on online chatting. She dresses up beautiful and doesn’t forget to use the perfume. It takes almost an hour to prepare for the nice dinner. To show him best manners, she reaches the restaurant ten minutes earlier than usual. Finally the time has come but the man doesn’t show up. After all, the man arrives twenty minutes later with dirt all over his cloth. He met a sudden rain while in a taxi stuck in a traffic jam and unluckily there was no umbrella to help him. The man makes an excuse to her but nothing comes into her ears, just finding the right time to leave the place. When if the man had checked weather forecast? When if he had left home earlier? I’m afraid but it only tells his poor readiness. This is what happens here and there. Unfortunately people decide others’ character by very trivial point. It is because one’s own personality is made through his whole life.
Moreover, people's first impression last till the end. Nowadays in Korea, the employment rate is rapidly decreasing and it is almost described as a 'War' to get a job among the young. In this matter, many news medias and professionals say that the first impression to the interviewer is the most important factor that decides the success or the fail. Why is that? I once saw a feature articles about tips to be a winner in this 'employment war', which is made by a ex-interviewer. He strongly insists that first impression takes almost 80% of the interview. To make an successful interview in short time, they analyzed the relation between various elements to judge interviewee and their real working abilities in the workplace. The special point was that the first impression they got from interviewee did not change a litte in the end, except some special cases. He said that someone who seemed to be so sincere did really do his best in his work. In contrast, who had showed up late in the interview, often made execuses for being late in his workplace. Curiously enough but, first impression really does not change so easily.
Needless to say, first impression cannot be the whole to judge people. However, to think of the first impression telling the inner characters and it's unchangeable feature, we should take it very chiefly. There is an old saying, "What's learned in the cradle is carried to the grave.". What people have gained through whole lives are entirely contained in their first impressions.
