Someone once made a video on the Internet, in which the same little girl stood alone by the roadside. Because of the huge differences in external images, the attitudes of passers-by have formed a huge contrast.
In the first video, she was dressed up dirty, and there were many pedestrians coming and going, but no one noticed her loneliness, and even walked by without looking, ignoring her directly. The little girl said that after recording this paragraph, she was sad and a little depressed. Are you so unattractive?
After the people behind the scenes came forward to comfort her, they dressed her up, put on clean and beautiful clothes and started shooting the second video. Still the little girl, but the external image has changed.
A beautiful little girl appeared on the side of the road, and passers-by immediately stopped to watch. Gradually, more and more good-hearted people, more than one aunt and uncle, care about her and ask with concern whether she has been separated from her family, why she is standing here alone, and so on. Therefore, "Buddha depends on gold and man depends on clothes" is very reasonable.
2. Politics also pays attention to personal image.
Even politically, Ma Ying defeated his rival Xie Changting in 2008 and was appointed as Taiwan Province Province. Because the election team behind him made an election poster: Xie Changting, a fat Democratic Progressive Party man, and Ma Ying, a gentle man, who would you choose?
The team used his personal image to help him win votes and achieved great success. A large number of female voters voted for Mark.
3.55 Law of 38 July
The law of "7/38/55" is the percentage of all kinds of signals transmitted when people give others the first impression. When people communicate with each other, there are three kinds of signals, which Dr. Mahabin of the University of California calls 3V: visual signals, voice signals and vocabulary signals.
Visual signals refer to what we can see, such as clothes, body language, facial expressions and so on. Voice signal refers to how people use his voice; Language signals refer to words and sentences.
In the first impression, visual factors account for 55%, sound accounts for 38%, and language accounts for 7%. It can be seen how important external image is to a person!
4. Making friends and falling in love pay more attention to the first impression.
In making friends and falling in love, as long as you follow this rule and leave a good first impression on the friends you meet for the first time, your future communication will be much smoother.
The first impression is the basis for deciding whether to continue to communicate in the future. Many netizens "see the light and die" because there are too many photos of the first impression, which is too different from the real person and unacceptable to the other party. The photo became a "cheat" and the goddess image of the goddess once collapsed.
Therefore, when exchanging photos with blind date, don't give yourself the perfect photos, but photos of everyday life after proper dressing. Because life photos can bring two people closer and feel more grounded. More intuitive than headshots and art photos.
5. Just like a business card, it opens the channel of contacts.
The first impression is like a personal business card, which lets strangers know you quickly. In this "face-looking world", it is not enough for you to be talented, but also to have a face value. If the face value is not enough, the packaging will make up for it.
When HR browses resumes, two candidates with similar qualifications, the one with a good image in the photo, have a better chance of getting an interview. Because photos give people a more intuitive feeling than ability performance, leaving a deep first impression.
A person who can manage his own image well is also a self-disciplined person. Don't think that in the real world, yearning for beautiful things is the pursuit of human nature, which is understandable. We can't change this, we can only cater to the market demand.
So take care of your personal image and pay attention to all aspects. At the beginning of socializing, the first impression is equivalent to the facade of a personal brand. Whether the facade is good or not determines whether the channels of contacts can be opened.
With the same ability, we have accumulated a wide range of contacts and are getting farther and farther away from success.
