There's an old saying - "Never judge a book by its cover."
And...at the seminar I've been at today, it certainly rang true!
I sat next to a lady who by all accounts looked just like someone's mum! lol
What I found out was that she was an hypnosis expert, had published seven books, and currently ran a company!
It certainly surprised me as she didn't look the 'type' of person who could perhaps help me a lot with my business aims!.
And that's the problem...we've all been conditioned to make judgements based on stereotypes.
Of course...because our brain needs to filter out so much information...we need to have some form of 'quick' opinion on a lot of things.
But...as today proved...it's not always that right!
So...the lesson both you and I can take from this is that perhaps we should try to ignore our first impressions a little bit more...and instead get to know someone a little bit better before we decide what sort of person they are.
I'm certainly not going to be making such 'rash' decisions in the near future, that's for sure!
