7 Tips on How to Make a Good Impression

It is a common thing that people around us just do not get us
right and perceive our personality not the way we would want
them to. This may be connected with all the spheres of our
lives starting with the hard work to get promoted or simply
among our friends or family members. So if you notice that
the people around you do not recognize that bright person as
you are, here are a few ways you need to know to make a
good impression.

1. The way you look
No matter what it is said truth can't be changed and people
will keep looking at your appearance first and only then
discover you as a unique personality. The first impression in
most cases is decisive in further relationships. That why in
order to avoid giving a wrong impression, you should take
care of the way you look. It is not all about expensive and
fashionable clothes but about the way they suit you and the
way you feel in them. Moreover, you have to consider the
dress code when dressing up for this or that occasion. Clothes
is one of the means to express your personality so be careful
with that.

2. Treat others with respect
It is an eternal rule of communication to treat all people
around you with respect. Even though you do not actually
respect this or that person you should behave yourself
decently and according to the rules of ethics. You should
never lose your face; show yourself as a person of good
manners. Treat people equally despite their social position or
material well-being and you will have the reputation of a
tolerant and polite person.

3. Stick to your principles
You may want to look more friendly, ambitious or fearless but
still you have your own set of principles and values you stick
to. Do not try to change them under the influence of other
people as they make you exactly who you are, a bright and a
unique person. You have to feel harmony with what you
consider to be right and what you actually do. If you feel
confident in that, then the other people will surely notice and
evaluate it.

4. Love yourself
If you want people to discover your bright personality and like
you, it is important that you love yourself and accept who you
are. Think of some qualities and traits of character that make
you who you are, which are appreciated by your friends and
family. Learn about your strong points and the things people
love about you. This will give you more confidence and better
understanding of yourself.

5. Discover your flaws
It is of extreme importance to be aware of your flaws and
fight with them. On the one hand, you should take pains not
to let other people discover it. And on the other, you are to
make efforts to turn your flaws to advantage. If you do not
know something – learn, if you can't do – ask somebody to
teach you. All the negative traits of your character should also
be reconsidered and corrected as your main aim is to make a
good impression.

6. Find the qualities you like in others
If you want to change some sides of your personality to
become a more interesting interlocutor or be more
professional, a very good solution is to find the people who
possess these features. Watch him or her and try to understand
how he\she manages. You should not copy somebody else's
behavior in no case! Stay yourself, but get experienced
watching other people. It is okay to have a role model and to
strive to improve yourself and be a better person.

7. Follow the rules
If you have a habit of always breaking the rules (no matter
what they are: either of society or rules of behaving in a
laundry) you should stop for a minute and think whether it
might scare away the people around you. Anyway if the rules
are widely accepted they do have positive intentions and you
have to lend your ear to them. You have already probed
yourself by breaking the rules so now try to follow them. Who
knows maybe you will start to agree to them

To avoid giving a wrong impression you don't have to pretend
or become another person you don't obviously look like. But
anyway seeking for improvement and learning something new
never does any harm. Do you always make a good
impression? What is your secret? Share it with us.
