Some people trust their first impression about a person, while some do not. Compare these two attitudes. Which one do you agree with.
"First impressions are important to many people because it is the gate for them to get acquainted with some one. However, to many other people, including me,a first impression does not provide enough information to judge whether some one is good or bad.
People who think first impressions are trustworthy have their own reasons. First impressions are one of the most important factors for them to decide whether or not they should get acquainted with some one else, because, to them, the first attitude or behavior is adequate to know how some one is, good or bad. If they see one's appearance is appealing or his or her smile is friendly, they immediately decide to get acquainted to him or her.
Many others think differently. They do know that first impressions are important to decide whether or not they should get acquainted with someone, but it definitely cannot provide enough information to judge whether that people is good or bad. Many people who want to exploit other people pretend to be friendly, but in fact, they are not. For example, vendors have many good behaviors like smiling or talking friendlily, but what they want is for the person they are talking to to buy something, some do not pretend to be so, but there are some who do so just because they want to sell their goods.
My stance on this issue inclines to the second opinion. Humans' characteristics are very complicated. It cannot be based on just the very first impression to understand someone else, it needs time for sure. There are many factors that is much more important than the first impression such as whether or not some one will help us when we have problems, and how he or she help. Those other things will show how sympathy, how faithful some one is.
Our society is complicated with many types of people. To have a really good friend we need to know not only how that people behave when he or she meet us for the first time but we also need to give a long time to know that one's characteristics better."
Thank you, Gloria.
