Being The Best You

By Rewa Khare-Sharma

No matter where it is, in school, at a party, in an office or at any other kind of social gathering, being introduced to new people is inevitable. These people, regardless of how you feel towards them, will form an opinion of you, and you of them. The judgments they make are mostly made in the first few seconds of the meeting and tend to be long lasting. Therefore it goes without saying, that first impressions are important.

This ‘first impression’ that one makes, is crucial and plays a massive role in deciding the logistics of the relationship one might have with the other.

For instance, when you meet a new student, the first few things that he or she says to you, decides whether you will want to be friends with them or not.

Similarly, when we grow slightly older and are searching for employment (this might seem ages away, but for a lot of us, it is just a few more years), this first impression we make, is the deciding impression, and all we have is one shot at it. So why not learn to make these first impressions memorable and pleasant? Don’t we all want to leave a good imprint of ourselves in someone’s mind?

Don’t worry; making a good first impression isn’t all that hard, it is actually quite effortless. Just keep a few things in mind, and you're good to go.

Even though part of making a good first impression requires a little bit of fitting in, one must be who they truly are. Do not let go of your individuality because it ispossibly the most noticeable part of the impression you create.So, go out, have fun and don’t forget to be the best you.
