Inception? No, Perception.

First impressions are very important and are the jumpstart to any relationship or communication.  First impressions are what affect our perception on others.  When we first have our perception on somebody after meeting them or in this case reading what someone has to say, we then judge that person based on our observations.  Perception on a person is also affected by our own personal background. For example, if I read an idea from someone the wrong way, I could make an unfair judgement; or if someone comes off too outgoing to another person, they can see the other person as loud and obnoxious when in reality, they are just trying to adjust to a new environment.  Before people make their perceptions on anyone in a group, they must first stay open-minded because everyone in a group is a different individual.  As an individual, people come from all different backgrounds and have different thoughts.  In order for a group to work well together, everyone must have a positive attitude and good understanding so that conflicts do not occur.

  1. This is beautifully written, I must say. I wish there were more people in this world that would maintain that open-mind. The only downfall is that our subconsious mind tends to pass judgement on others before we realize it. This post needs to be on a freeway billboard!

  2. Wow, thank you I'm glad that you think so. Haha, I wasn't expecting that! But yes, positive attitudes and open minds would most definitely help the world!
