A person should never be judged by a person's external appearances. The looks do not always reflect the way we are. We can make a lot of mistakes when we let the external appearance describe everything about a person. We are all not born similar, we are all different from each other so we look different than each other.
It is true that we might be able to tell some outward qualities but we can never tell what a person is like from the inside just from his/her looks. The way we dress, the way we make our hairstyle different, the way we express our mood are all different and even different at a certain time as always. Maybe someone just likes to wear baggy clothes or someone likes to wear some tight clothes and that’s perfectly normal and it does not whatsoever describe a person’s personality. At first sight, one can describe someone in a completely different way than what they turn out to be when you get to know them well. Some people even have two faces meaning they tend to act differently around people and differently when they are alone of not with their friends or family, Some people who wear extra fashionable clothes are not always just spoiled people who don’t value their money, At first sight we just think that they don’t value their money and start to tell how careless they are but we never know how the person really is. Maybe he/she just likes to wear fashionable clothes or they just have an interest in fashion and stuff. Same goes with the people who don’t like to dress well on any occasion and they just like to be casual, that does not mean they don’t have the money to afford expensive and fashionable clothes but rather they just don’t mind about such type of stuff. Well it cannot be denied that appearance can make so much difference when meeting someone, everywhere we have heard that our first impression must be good to let people know that we are well mannered. And that is somehow true as we don’t want to lose interview with an unironed shirt or a bunch of holes in the clothes as that makes us not really interested in the job. Well that is what people will think but we again never know the limits of the person, who knows maybe he who got rejected from the job who was just not dressed well will make a huge impact on the other companies and become more successful. So that’s an example of why we shouldn’t just judge someone's quality from their appearance. We have had experiences about these things, like remembering the friends now that you had made back in the days, Did you think they were different? Did you think they turned out to be something else? Or did it just turn out to be exactly what you thought? And we had surely gotten something different from what we thought they might have been.
It is fine to think or make assumptions in our minds but we should never say it out loud, as we don’t know the other person like what is going on with his life and what he wants all we wanna know is if the person has a good mindset and the passion or does he not by his behavior and not his appearance.
