As I woke up today during my meditation I just remembered those words my primary school headteacher, Fr. Novatus Rugoye (R.I.P) who used to say to us his students most important things to be applied in life. One of the common words he used to say was "First impression matters."
During his Monday's conferences he couldn't miss to speak how anybody's first impression matters.
How you appear to people on your first days is what people will define you with all the time.
People will judge and determine you with your discipline, your language, how you talk, how you dress, how you walk, how you appear to mention but a few.
No matter how good you appear on the coming days or weeks after you have been to a certain community but *your first impression matters.*
Learn to dress as smart as possible because a book is judged by its cover even though people say "don't judge the book by its cover." I agree with Jim Rohn who once said "Dress like a prospect, not like a suspect." In his book *The Magic of Thinking Big*- David Schwartz says "It pays to be smart."
Learn also to talk well with everyone you meet. Don't just speak because you feel to speak but think before you speak. Remember "Easy is to speak without thinking. Difficult is to refrain the tongue."
People will always judge you with the words that you speak and say. As Proverbs 6:2 says "We are snared by the words of our mouth." I also agree with Les Brown who said "When you open your mouth, you tell the world who you are." Remember the words you speak and talk also matters. *And so first impression matters*
As I was writing this article I was so lucky to read on one of the news papers I have bought today. In his article Dr.Fr. Faustin Kamugisha has written "Whatever we speak and say is 35% and what we don't say takes 65%. Sixty five percent involves how our face looks like, our voice tone, how we walk, how we appear, how we look by our eyes, our signs and gestures. The body talks. To say the truth the body never lies may be if you're the best actor/actress."
I tell you my friend *First impression matters.*
