How does this picture
of me appears to you? However you interpret it, is how best I have being able
to manage your impression about me. They say first impression goes a lot way
and I say every impression goes a longer way.
Impression management
is when you ensure that your actual self is also how others perceive you. For instance,
a man who is accountable to his wife sends a message that he can be trusted. An
employee who regularly comes early to work gives an impression, that she is efficient
and effective. A mother who is friendly towards her children sends a signal
that she can be their confidant and a friend whom before you ask is readily
available tell he is reliable and that is because impressions forms opinion.
When you are not cheating,
lying, mean, wicked or unfaithful with money, please endeavor not to appear so,
to others. Whatever you are not, don’t give any chances to be taken or
perceived as such. Don't appear to be what you are not and don't be of the
attitude that “he trusts me”, “she understands me” and then begin to take little
things for granted. Its little foxes that spoil the vine. “A bee is never as
busy as it seems; it’s just that it can’t buzz any slower”- Kin Hubbard
Interestingly enough,
the impression we create, registers in people’s subconscious mind. So try not
to arouse your partner suspicious or even distrust from others, because the
impression any one has about you, will rub off on their relationship with you. Equally
don't feed his fears, and don't nurture her insecurities in anyways, by the impressions
you give. Because it would be a strain on your relationship, but rather groom
her confidence, massage his ego and you will have so much to gain.
Always act who you
are, say what you mean and mean what you say. Let’s not leave our
every day to chances, rather let’s be intentional about our daily living. How well
others perceive us, can be an advocate in our absence, reinforcement in our
present and can save the moment of truth. Every day in every way, we are
leaving our mark – Rachael Bermingham
