physical appearance matters most when people look at us." FIRST IMPRESSION LASTS"...from the way we dressed and the moment we open our mouth,how we communicate,how we talk to them. it's not easy to pleased everyone,and we can never please everybody no matter how we do our best.but sometimes it is worth to give our best,and impressed people around us rather than leaving them with bad impressions against us. " i am talking about one experience i had when i am renewing my passport.one young boy sits besides me and asked me to lend him money coz his money is not enough to pay for the renewed passport.without asking and hesitation i gave him the money he needs.and when i gone out from the building i saw him waiting for me outside and approaches me and give me back my money and even introduce me to his family.that unexpected moment of my life gives me a very rewarding results,his father is one of the staff in a company and had given me opportunity to join their group and now i am working with them with part time job." a 500 peso bill i lend to that young boy was given back to me a hundred times ...wasn't it a blessing guys.

Wow it's seldom happen, even in my case I would not do that unless I know the boy. I think, by nature you have humanitarian heart. I appreciate that. Maybe in your thoughts, yo never care if the boy would return the money or not since you never ask his whereabouts, you're giving something with out expecting anything in returns...I really appreciate it..keep it up

I knew this sounds unbelievable,but it does happen to me.All i had in mind while looking at the young guy is,what if this boy is my son? I did that move thinking,maybe someday if this situation will ever happen to any of my loved ones,there is still a good samaritan that will give back the good thing i have done in the past.I am always inspired to do little good deeds to strangers my friend,who knows,that stranger is an angel in disguise =) thanks for your responce =)

I do not believe in first impression lasts. Only constant is change. It can be in looks, style, thoughts, anything. Time changes all things and so not to be so sure about anything at very first impression.

True. because appearance is the first thing visible to the viewer and it's the basis on which the viewer forms an opinion avout people. That's why its essential to sport a good look.

Doing good things will always benefitted us with good in return.It may not be the same person that will give us the same favor,but maybe other people will do it to us in an unexpected moment in our lives. Thanks for your responce my friend =)

People do change with time my friend,but the saying goes,first impression lasts. Thu you have change,your old self will still remain in the mind of those who have known you for so long.They will be happy to see your changes and would compare you with what you are from the past. thanks for your responce =)
