There’s always a talk about first impressions. Attend an interview to show consistency, try look your best to give a visual impression of yourself. It is even said by some interviewers, that they take about 2 sounds to look at a resume/cv before even deciding to go any futher.
There is also the thing called “love at first sight”. I can’t say with certain but at first glance, there’s something that stands out. There’s this conversations Ted and Klaus had in “How I Met Your Mother” that really goes in mind. A conversation at a runaway wedding, and it goes like:
Klaus: Victoria is wunderbar, but she is not my “Lebenslanger Schicksalsschatz.” She’s my “Beinahe-Leidenschaftsgegenstand”… it means the thing that is almost the thing that you want, but it’s not quite. That is Victoria to me.
Ted Mosby: How do you know she’s not “Lebenslanger Schicksalsschatz?” Maybe as the years go by she’ll get “Lebenslanger Schicksalsschatz… ier?”
Klaus: “Lebenslanger Schicksalsschatz” is not something that develops over time. It is something that happens instantaneously. It courses through you like the water of a river after a storm, filling you and emptying you all at once. You feel it throughout your body, in your hands, in your heart, in your stomach, in your skin… have you ever felt this way about someone?
Ted Mosby: …I think so.
Klaus: If you have to think about it, you have not felt it.
Ted Mosby: And you’re absolutely sure you’ll find that someday?
Klaus: Of course. Everyone does eventually… you just never know when or where.
That is what I think about love at first sight. When I think of the word radiant, I think about the first time I met laid eyes on my partner. A radiant smile, a gentle person, caring and hard working.
Can’t say if love is always determined by first glance, but I can say its there when your least expect it. After all, a watch pot never boils. Everything happens at its own time.
P.S there is a speech about things happening at its own time on my other post here
