A Simple Way to Make a Good First Impression

This is the first topic that I have gone through and its quite interesting. As far as I know that first impression is very important when we are meeting someone and if it is good then later we need not to struggle with this but if in case the first impression is not good Ud then another person find it difficult to have trust and faith on ourselves.

In today's corporate world meeting with different clients and customer is part of our job and make it effective it's important to know how to present ourselves in front of them. Any guidance on what's this is very helpful and the author has nicely written in the book about it.

Author Dale has talked about this topic in around 6 pages and after going through it I found few lines very much interesting so sharing here for you guys to have a look-

Whenever you go out-of-doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown
of the head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in the sunshine, greet your friends with a smile, and put a soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and do not waste a minute thinking about your enemies. Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like to do; and then, without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal. Keep your mind on the great and splendid things you would like to do, and then, as the days go gliding away, you will find yourself unconsciously seizing upon the opportunities that are required for the fulfillment of your desire, just as the coral insect takes from the running tide the element it needs.

Indeed and smile on the face confident people who are confident and the person instead of having side tired type of face. If I talk about my personal then I always ensure to make myself look happy whenever I go for the client meeting because this way the impact on the meeting is quite fruitful. Smile is a very small thing but let me tell you that the impact of your smile can make a big difference.

Few things that Dale talked about in this topic are very much useful and I can say that we must follow to leave a positive first impression on anyone. While going out we should think positively, keep a smile on the face, greet people, and be confident. These are some of of the things that make us a better personality

I started reading this book from the last weekend and it took about 2 weekends for me to finish this book. I think that I am a slow reader but within this time I have realized that this is such a nice book and I dont want to read in a hurry. Its ok if I am taking time but I enjoy the book thoroughly.

I will start with another topic and will share about it in my next publication
