An old saying insists that "first impressions last. " That is true. However, first impressions do not ensure lasting and meaningful relationships. We all put so much effort into impressing the boss, charming the girl or dazzling the guy. While those are good in themselves, what really matters is not what we project at first, but what outlasts that first meeting. In other words, the Real Me.
Let us not be fooled into believing that we can always charm our way out of or into anything. Sooner or later, someone will demand some character. If all we have is charm, what will happen then? The fact is if we cannot put up, we will be forced to shut up.
I am convinced that we should spend time improving our personality, but more importantly, we should work indefatiguably to build a solid character profile. When that boss is faced with a deadline and needs a level-headed person, who has demonstrated reliability and integrity, he/she will not call the "charmer" known only for charming. If that young lady needs some keen ears into which she can pour her soul, she will not think of your dance moves or cute smile.
Our world is need of people who get in because they want to be in for the long haul. Too many relationships and partnerships falter, fail and fall by the wayside because too often we project a big lie about ourselves and when the truth surfaces - it always does - it shatters everything in its path.
Will the Real Me please stand up?
