First Impression

First Impression
The first thing that we pay attention to while meeting someone in the very first time usually is their appearance for we can not see their personalities and inner quality directly. According to Roger Alice, the last American strategy expert for the Republican Party, the first impression usually forms within seven seconds. In other words, we can understand someone in a wink if the first impression is reliable. Is it fair to judge people regardless their past? Does it sound incredible? However, that is exactly what some of us have done. Whether the first impression reliable or not is a question that lots of people are arguing, I prefer not to trust the first impression for a real understanding is achieved after interaction and communication.
The blind spot of first impression have led to lots of misunderstanding and debate. However, there are so many proofs that the first impression is not as reliable and romantic as we think. First, in Pride and Prejudice, both Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy really don’t like each other at the first sight. However; the more time they get along, the better they impress each other. While you may think it is just a novel, actually, the novel is adapted form Jane Austen’s first and only romance in her life time. Similar to Pride and Prejudice, she thought her first lover was a rascal at the first time she saw him, however; it turned out that he was actually a responsible man, who had to take care of his whole family, and they soon fell in love. No matter in or out of the novel, Jane Austen had proved that the first impression is not extremely right. Besides, take myself for example, Robbie Williams, who is my favorite singer right now, was once a horny guy in my opinion. The first time I saw him on television he was taking off his underwear on the stage and I thought it was disgusting. From then on, I would switch to another channel right away as long as I saw him. However, it was until I happened to hear one of his famous songs ‘Angel’ and his excellent performance in his concert that I found he is actually a great entertainer for he can do each kind of performance. Then I realized my first impression on him was totally wrong. Moreover, the topic of lots of romance is love at the first sight. Story started with it is usually romantic, however; this is not common in real life. For instance, one of my relatives fell in love with a guy, who she bumped into on a shop, in the first sight and married him within two months. The marriage ended up with arguments and violence. She is still confused and regretful for not knowing what kind of people he really is. In fact, falling in love at the first sight but ending up divorce is an old story that happens all the time.
In conclusion, the first impression is exactly how we judge an unfamiliar person, and it is a natural response. While it may be unavoidable, just take it as a little comment for our instinct usually is incorrect. According to those examples, it is obvious that the further understanding is what we need to judge someone.
