As the writer Leki said in the lecture, “the first four minutes” play a crucial role in determining whether you like or dislike the person you met, even determining whether the two of you will become friends in the future. But no one can confirm that you can see the real personality of the person when you first meet him. Sometimes you may be misled by the first impression of a person.
Set my personal experience as an example, when I first met my best friend L, I can not image us becoming so close one day. I remembered when first met her, she was debating at the stage with others in a sort of tub-thumping eloquence. She was so outstanding; therefore, other debaters were eclipsed by her gloss. I thought her as a person who was very difficult to approach. But after one year, we become classmates. To my surprise, she was very kind and enthusiastic. After several days, we got along with each other very well and we found lots of common between us. Until now, she is still my best friend. Her real personality proved to be completely different from my first impression of her.
On occasion, someone formed an impression of me that was completely wrong. Once I met a person in my piano class, and she wanted to go to a concert with me. But after all days work, I didn’t have the mood to go there and I refused her invitation. That was the first time and also the last time she invited me before she drop the class. I felt it is a pity that there is no chance to let her know a “real” me.
