Changing a Perspective

It is said that you do not get a second chance to make a first impression.

While this is true and an individual should always behave in a manner that will depict who and what he/she is like and what he/she is about, I will argue that there are second chances. As a human being with the power to conform, change your perspective and have new beginnings we are given chances to change our image from a bad one to a good one.

But what happens when we have made a good impression at first, or we have a good reputation that gets tarnished over time or from a foolish act? How can we then “Chance the Perspective” of the people around us or the public? Human Beings can have very short memories and operate in a manner such that you can do good things all the time and they will hardly notice but the moment that you have done something that they do not like, you are seen as the worst person to have existed.

To regain the good ground where on you formerly stood requires work. Here are a few things that can be done:

· Begin with a plan of where you want to go, what perspective you want known.
· Apologize for your behavoiur and be sincere.
· Do not try to cover the obvious wrong with misconceptions. People are not foolish.
· Be patient and work diligently at your plan.
· Remember that what ever you do they are always going to be a few people who are not going to like you anyway. Get over it.
