Don't Be Impressed with Personal Charm; Look for Character!

You will know the tree by the fruit it bears!

First impressions count! Wrapping is important, whether we are considering a house, a product, or a person. We think what looks attractive or reliable from the outside must surely be on the inside. We judge books by their covers; we buy houses based on curb appeal and we take people at face value. And they do the same to us! None of this seems fair!

 People should judge by their inner values and beliefs, but it is often the first impression that decides whether someone will stick around long enough to reveal their wonderful qualities.First impressions get their strength from instinct and emotion, not on rational thought or investigation. Our gut feeling or suspicion can only be made true by asking the important questions! Guessing is an unstable way of thinking and don't be impressed with personal charm or deceived by the face change; look for character.

First impressions do count but what occurs when the wrapping changes on the outside and you experience a "first impression repeat"! A "first impression repeat" happens when a person does not examine why they like certain personalities. Faces change but you can still marry the wrong character. Don't be impressed with the beauty of the landscaping but find out what is good and bad beneath the ground! This is the best impression you can make.
