First Impression What do we mean "impression? It means that ideas, feeling, or opinions towards someone. It is the way that we predicate one's personalities thoughts, values, or reactions. How do we generate first impressions to someone? His outlooks and behaviors are the major reasons. We decide impressions by what we see, hear and feel, by our judgemental mind. But, our judgments are based on our predictions. So, I do not agree that first impressions are always right since they are involved with too many personal ideas. In addition, no one is unchangeable. We change at every moment. We learn new things so that our thoughts change. We keep getting older, so our bodies change. Every condition always changes. Even you are not the same person as one year ago, one month ago, and one minute ago. How can we think the first impressions are always right? I have a friend who I knew him from elementary school. We dislike each other for the first time we met. We entered the same class as well when we went to the same high school. It was the most terrible thing happened at that time. But, it was not easy to make new friends at the beginning of high school. And he noticed my loneliness and tried to give me some warm smiles whenever we encountered. His smiles totally changed my impressions. I wonder if he was always kind and considerable. Or, he changed and became more mature? From then, I learned that first impressions could be completely wrong.

What makes us happy? Does everyone want to be happy? What makes us happy? What makes other people to be happy? Do you know how to make a child smile? When he is hungry, you bring him some food. When he cries, you gently pat his back and tell him "It's okay." When he is scared, you hold his hand. When he makes a mistake, you forgive him. It seems to be easier to make a child to smile. Is it because children are naiver and more innocent than we are? Or, it is us who make things to be too complicate? We think too much before think of others in the world of adults? May I say that we can apply the same rule which we take care of children to help others. Think about what one's needs. Give him what we can give. When you try to comfort people, a warm smile appears on your face. When you solve one's problem, you feel release as the person who your helped. May I say that it makes us happy when we make others to be happy?
