Change Your Impression.

A Never Changing impression?

Well think again. Sometimes being mere humans, we tend be a little too judgemental at times.
So little Sally was always shy..and thus we'd assume she'd still be the same old little girl we always knew.
Bob was always fooling around and never did his homework, so we'd assume he'd grow up being irresponsible.

Firstly, isn't it all but a mere pre-concept of our own? Impressions we form towards people based on what they may or may not have done in the past and character wise. But on second thoughts, do you not think that people can change? or rather do you not know that people do change?

Little Sally who was always shy is now pursuing a Masters in Mass Communication. On the other hand, Little Bob who was always fooling around and never did his homework, is a well-known doctor today. Can't believe it?

Well BELIEVE IT. PEOPLE CAN CHANGE. Sometimes we ought to give a little room to others into believing that they can change, just like we'd like for them to give us a chance into believing in our own potential to change, for the better. This practically applies to things and situations in life as well. How would you like it if people constantly judge you merely based on an impression they had formed towards you in the past?
Wouldn't you like to shout out to them one day saying : ''I'm a Changed Person!"?

Hence personally, I do believe in the statement, Never judge a book by it's cover. Even if what you see in a person today, may not be the same in the future. As time goes by, people and things change. It's just only the matter of changing for the better or worse. Of course, as humans, we strive to become a better person each day. After all, life is a learning process. You don't change just in an hour or a day, for some, maybe even a lifetime.
Nevertheless, at the end of the day, it's the question of:
'Do you count yourself to have lived a worthy life?'

Someone told me:
"This world is like a stage, we've all got a part to play."

As i took a deeper insight into these words, I find it very true.

Don't you think that at times we're but little actor and actresses on stage. Given our own role/task, we are to perform accordingly. At the event if we fail to do so, we will then be judged eventually and accordingly. This is where impressions start to form.

In relevance to life, we as humans constantly have our own responsibilities to fulfill. We are also constantly under the eyes of others, thus there is no running away from being judged, just like how we place judgement on others too.
Nevertheless, how you live your life in the present, greatly determines the outcome of the future or rather your own future.

So don't we all have a part to play?

Where we could say: "I've lived my life worthy",
at the end of the day?


Signing off,
first look into the mirror of your own.
