It is a saying that ‘First Impressions are important.’ But what I feel is that they are not everything, or they are not the last impression. Because a person can correct their mistakes and if you would ask me, then I would just say that first impression is always the wrong one. Ah! Not always but yes, 99% of people make their first impression as a wrong one. But it is paramount to have a good impression for the first time if the job done is important or if someone special has done something important for you.
