Perception Is Reality: First impressions matter in today’s culture more than ever, because your first impression is not to one person when you shake their hand. It is to thousands of people online when you upload a photo on fb or Instagram or post a comment on Twitter. You are a brand, whether you like it or not – and how you portray yourself is profoundly important. Not just for your personal life, but professionally as well. How others perceive us is often how they decide we are, and the likelihood of that perception changing is low, considering they probably won’t track you down to, you know, talk to you and just make sure if they’re right. Some people will read this and say that they don’t care what anyone else thinks. Why should I censor myself just so people will “approve” of me? Why should it matter how other people view you if you know the truth about yourself? What’s the big deal? If you are happy with how your life is and feel as though what you portray to the world is in line with what your inner values are, then by all means, don’t change a thing. But we have to understand the widespread epidemic of many other people who your argument does not apply to. jamesmsama
