First impression is the Last impression????

“First impression is the last impression”

Wherever we go, we always hear the above given advice by our mentor or parents or guardians. But is it really true? How can anyone judge completely by just meeting for the first time?

Let’s take up some examples.

  • We met a person for the first time. The person that we met was not in a good mood because of his personal issues and so he behaved badly and didn’t communicate well. Does that mean he is a bad guy as his first impression wasn’t that good?
  • A rich person is painting walls on his own at home. The paint that he brought got over and so he went to take up new paint in the same dirty clothes.  The shopkeeper asks him," Do you have enough money to buy this paint?"  The first impression of this rich guy for that shopkeeper was totally the opposite of what he was. So can we rely on this kind of first impressions?


Judging a person is not an immediate thing but a process which takes some time. Most of your first judgements are proved wrong as we don’t know the cover story of that person.
Yet this quote is followed by every person and it is good to follow it so that we always try to keep a good impression. It’s just that it should not be followed blindly. There are chances that person whose first impression was very good is a fraud in real life and was faking it. So its advisable not to remain firm on your first judgements. 

Think of the situation of that person, Judge him in your first meeting but just don’t make it as his last impression. We never know the reason for his good/bad reaction in just one meet. Always give everyone another chance to right the wrong.

COMFORT ZONE Vs GROWTH ZONE

-
 A person sees himself in many zones as per his daily activities that are going around. He tries to adopt himself as per the surroundings. So can we say that he is getting influenced by others? Influence means to control someone or a group and get ourselves to believe in what they are saying is true.  When we are young and in our growing stage, we always find people who try to motivate us to do some tasks. Those tasks can be negative or positive, right or wrong, hard or easy. A regular child gets up, goes to school, attends classes, comes home, does homework, goes to play, comes back and eats and sleep.  But Sachin Tendulkar, he started his journey of Cricket at the age of 11 years and today he is known as the God of Cricket.  Just 1 thing different from a common child and that was to grow himself to achieve his dreams.  Similarly a professional Person gets up, does some exercise or reads the newspaper, gets ready, goes to the office, completes his work, comes b...

Outer World Vs Inner World: A Journey Within

-
The Motive Behind Exploring "Outer World vs Inner World" In a world where external achievements, appearances, and performances dominate our daily lives, we often overlook the most vital space we inhabit — Our Inner World . This is where our emotions, thoughts, fears, values, and dreams reside. It is the truth of who we are. The Outer World , on the other hand, is the space everyone else lives in — each person carrying their own invisible inner realities. Ironically, while real change and growth begin from within, we constantly strive to control the outer world — something that’s never fully in our control, as each individual lives by their own values, feelings, and perceptions. When we fail to influence it the way we want, we feel stressed, disappointed, and sometimes even angry with ourselves for not being able to control others. So, the question arises: If becoming a better person starts with mastering the Inner Self, why do we invest most of our energy trying to influence ...

Wish Vs Goals: The Real Difference that shapes Success

-
In life, success is something we all strive for. From our academic years to the start of our careers, we put in our best efforts to achieve something meaningful—to get a good job, earn recognition, and live a life of value. But despite our hopes and hard work, not everyone reaches the destination they dream of. Why? Because wishing for success is not the same as planning for it. When we see someone driving a luxury car or living in a grand villa, we often think, “I wish I had that too.” It’s a common reaction. We desire those outcomes. We imagine ourselves in that position. But the real question is—how do we plan to get there? Hope gives us the vision but not the roadmap. A goal, on the other hand, begins where hope ends—with a question: “How will I achieve it?” This simple but powerful question turns a vague wish into a clear objective. It gives birth to action, effort, and strategy. Let’s consider a common aspiration: “I want to be at a managerial level within 3 years.” It’s...
