Have you heard the proverb “meet by clothes - escort through the mind”? I think yes. Given the many psychological factors of man, it is incredibly relevant in the modern world. When a person sees you for the first time, he still cannot evaluate your intellect and mental abilities, therefore he only fixes a visual “picture” in his mind so far. Later, after talking, he may well change his mind for the worse and for the better. But it should be noted that scientists have proved that the main attitude to a person is formed during the first minute after meeting. So do not waste your time!
The proverb “meet by clothes - escort by mind”, the meaning of which is too literally perceived by some people, has forced many to acquire a huge number of complexes. In general, most boys and girls are able to self-criticize their appearance. But often they forget that their deep inner world cannot be seen right away. As a result, these guys gain courage and purposefully go to get acquainted with the often more successful / beautiful / wealthy representatives of the opposite sex. And they get a “turnaround from the gate”. Modern youth is so obsessed with appearance, new-fashioned gadgets and generally financial situation that those who do not have all this are ignored at best. Probably, only the first part of the saying is generally suitable for such superficial people, because they do not even give the person who they did not like initially the opportunity to tell about themselves.
In fact, in the age of the Internet it is not so difficult to look good without having a significant material base for this. You can even walk around second-hand, sometimes it comes across branded, and, most importantly, completely new beautiful things. Put yourself in order, then the first impression will be positive, and you can tell more about yourself.
Of course, many people deny the words: "they are greeted by clothes, but escorted by the mind." They are sure that appearance is not the main thing, therefore one should not evaluate a person by it. On the one hand, this is true, but, as I have already said, it is not a fact that you will be given the opportunity to demonstrate yourself and your best qualities. By the way, often for those who look good, certain intellectual errors are forgiven.
Recently, the desire to improve the finished clothes purchased in the store has become very widespread. In this case, if you follow the floorboard, "they meet you by the clothes - you see them off by the mind," you will kill two birds with one stone. Here you can show your ingenuity, demonstrate taste. From this point of view, look at the things that you have. Something can be changed, decorated, redone - and a thing that is already a little tired will suddenly delight you with its novelty.
So, are they really “greeted by clothes - escorted by the mind”? I think so, although very often there are exceptions. Do not blindly follow this rule, develop not only external but also internal qualities, then everything will be just fine in your life.
