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.
