A look at yourself from a different perspective

Do you ever look at other people and think they are lazy, fat, snobbish, awesome, cool, interesting, etc? These are first impressions, and they are among the most powerful impressions we make about people.

Think for a moment about how many amazing people you may have already missed an opportunity to know because at a simple glance you may have assumed something untrue about them. The effect could be staggering! For example there a dozens of stories out there about a person going to an interview somewhere, and while grabbing a coffee on the way they may have cut someone off in line for coffee only to find out later that the person they cut off just happened to be the interviewer...or worse the owner of the company!

Be your best self everyday. Don't think your problems are bigger than anyone else. Just be a good person.
