Foggy Impression - by Nigel A JAMES

First Impressions – Erste Eindrücke

Some very short thoughts by Nigel A JAMES

listen to ‘Diariklub - First Impressions’ on audioBoom

a - Many people think that first impressions are the right ones. Everyone is a good judge of character. But, the truth is the opposite!

b -The truth is that no-one understands first impressions. They are not posture, smart clothes, shiny clean shoes or behaviour. Everyone can look nice and be nice for an hour or two!

C - So, where is the first right impression? Is it hidden in the eyes? No! Is it in the shoulders? Wrong again! We shouldn't be looking, we should be listening!

d - Our voices are the only reliable first impression. They are full of information. They can tell us if a person is arrogant, friendly, normal or bad! Our voices are with us wherever we go. We cannot change them!

e - And one more thing. First impressions are not a one-way street. People are making first impressions of us, too. Are they always right about us! How is your voice? Is it your character?
