Frist impression

When we meet a stranger, we create an idea of that person in our mind. We call it first impression.

How do we create first impression of people. Most of time, we see what the person looks like, We look at the person’s physical appearance, such as eyes, hair and height.

A writer, Malcolm Gladwell, did a survey of the leaders of big companies in the United States. He found that a lot of them were tall men. Gladwell says that we choose taller people to be our leaders without knowing it. This is because tall people feel like leaders to us. But not everyone agrees. We don’t always make important decisions based only on out first impression.

Giving people a good impression can be important, like in a job interview. But first impressions are not always true. We often change how we feel about people when we know them better.
