First impressions matter!!! by Alexandre Vieira

Image role in someone´s life


  Marketing matters, and that seems to be accurate for companies and people. The way you introduce yourself profoundly affects your career. Also, it's not only your body language communication or how you dress, the Internet has given people innumerable better approaches to reinforce their own image or totally destroy it. Interpersonal organizations, YouTube web journals and other online devices enable us share things out into the world in a easier way, however putting yourself out there so prominently makes it less demanding for individuals and potential businesses to judge you by your cover.

 First impressions... 

  A progression of analyses by Princeton analysts Janine Willis and Alexander Todorov uncover that it takes less than a second to frame an impression of an outsider from their face, and that longer exposures don't necessarily change those first impressions. 
  Even though we don´t have the capacity to take care of everything in our appearance, we may even now get paid more to look great.
Attractive, thin, tall individuals tend to profit than their unremarkable work partners, revealed CNN Money. Specialists found that excellent individuals have a tendency to earn five percent more a hour than their less attractive partners.

  For instance, the wage differential found for obesity is by all accounts constrained to white women, the study stated, belying an unmeasured productivity clarification. Market analysts found that women considered obese in terms of their body index(BMI) in both years 1981 and 1988 earned 17 percent less than women inside their recommended BMI index.

Image in politics...

  It is a reality of present day politics issues that politicians must depend on image to convey the day. It's been that way since the main broadcast discusses between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in 1960.
  For example, the segment of George W. Bush´s administration has demonstrated the same, it started with the great disaster of the Twin Towers. At that point there was a picture of the most powerful man on the planet, wearing regular clothes, remaining in the middle of the confusion and yelling into a megaphone. The picture announced at the same time that he was one of us (vital in a democracy system) and that he had a feeling of masculine defiance (vital for any leader).
