People say that first impression gives a great impact on how you're perceived by others. Sometimes I find this statement quite hard to believe.

I've always been the girl who refused to go with the way the majority thinks. Because most of the time I find that the majority group has a propensity towards a bias opinion on all things.

There's this man whom I have to deal with in this new department. All around this place, I'd been hearing stories about him. Stories that are not good. To put it in harsh words - he was potrayed as this arrogant male chauvinist.

When words got to me that I'll be dealing directly with him, I was nervous. The thing that I was afraid most had became reality. But I tried not to show my true feeling. I tried to bury it deep inside me. In my attempt to plant positive notions inside my head, I thought to myself "He looks knowledgeable and worldly, maybe I'd gain lotsa benefits from our dealings after all".

And my!my! it turns out that I was right. He does have worldly knowledge. And unlike the rumors had it, he's actually nice and polite towards me. He helps my dealings with the con*ract*rs and the authorities and make the handling of projects easier for me.

Luckily, I didn't get the rumours get to me. Or else I'd had lost this great opportunity to learn all the wonderful new knowledge from this man.
