First Impressions

Have you ever judged someone by their appearance? NEVER? Well...you are a better person than I am for sure! :) I have a bad habit of trying to deduce someone's character within a few minutes of meeting them. Some would say I'm somewhat Sherlock HolmesISH. ONLY, I'm hardly ever RIGHT and usually terribly WRONG! You think I would learn after being so terribly wrong so terribly many times. Here are a few quotes I looked up about FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
  • Sometimes the very smallest player is the best one on the team.
  • I've never met a person, I don't care what his condition, in whom I could not see possibilities.
  • Beware, as long as you live, of judging people by appearances.
  • Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.
  • AND my FAVE: You know what ASSUME stands for!!
I can only imagine what people must think of me when they first meet me! HA!

  1. I thought you were very sweet and good with the young women - at least I think that's where I was first made aware of you. I have that same judgement problem frequently. Sometimes I think my thinking to saying filter is seriously broken.
