Hướng dẫn dịch

Khi chúng ta gặp một người lạ, chúng ta hình thành ý tưởng về người đó trong đầu. Chúng tôi gọi đó là ấn tượng đầu tiên.

Làm thế nào để chúng ta tạo ấn tượng đầu tiên với mọi người. Hầu hết thời gian, chúng tôi xem người đó trông như thế nào, Chúng tôi xem xét ngoại hình của người đó, chẳng hạn như mắt, tóc và chiều cao.

Một nhà văn, Malcolm Gladwell, đã làm một cuộc khảo sát về những người đứng đầu các công ty lớn ở Hoa Kỳ. Anh thấy rằng rất nhiều người trong số họ là những người đàn ông cao lớn. Gladwell nói rằng chúng ta chọn những người cao hơn làm lãnh đạo của mình mà không hề hay biết. Điều này là do những người cao cảm thấy giống như những nhà lãnh đạo đối với chúng tôi. Nhưng không phải ai cũng đồng ý. Không phải lúc nào chúng tôi cũng đưa ra các quyết định quan trọng chỉ dựa trên ấn tượng ban đầu.

Tạo cho mọi người một ấn tượng tốt có thể rất quan trọng, chẳng hạn như trong một cuộc phỏng vấn xin việc. Nhưng ấn tượng đầu tiên không phải lúc nào cũng đúng. Chúng ta thường thay đổi cách chúng ta cảm nhận về mọi người khi chúng ta hiểu rõ hơn về họ.
