Thought-provoking post @tarazkp. Getting the question of judgment right in life is important for us all.

"... don't judge a book by its cover ..."

As I get older, I find old sayings like this one, to have more value than when I was younger. If time allows, resisting the impressions created from image alone and reserving judgment for the underlying substance serves us well.

"This is why they say to always make a good first impression, because a poor one can last a lifetime."

Following this advice is wise, as it can save us many problems. In my "old life," I trained technical salespeople. My input was pragmatic on this. All reasonable effort should be made to form a good first impression, as it was all "uphill" or "downhill" from there ...

Is not the key, as with so many things in life, to get the balance right? Allow time in your reflecting on something new to "get it right" where possible, i.e. to see if first impressions hold up.
