First Impressions

Chris Nettles
Deputy Grand Master

It only takes about 5 seconds for me to develop my first impression.  

It may be a person or an organization but my mind is quick to decide. I seldom pause to consider that I may be wrong about my first impression, too.  If my first impression is not accurate it will take me a while to realize it and modify my opinion.

I also tend to judge a group or organization by the actions of a member or a few members. My first impression of that entire group is firmly developed by those first few members I encounter. 

You never know when you are someone’s first impression. 

You may be someone’s first impression of Masons. 

Your Lodge may be someone’s first impression of Masonry. 

Make someone’s first impression a good one.
