The Art of 'Judging the Book'

The truth be told, before it's said.










Supposedly, 'you can't judge a book by its cover', but there's also 'an exception to every rule'. The little things people say to fill the silence can be very revealing. I'm listening, and I'm learning that my 'judgments' are spot on. I would like to take a moment to clarify that the actual definition of the word 'judgment' has no negative connotations, but somehow it's managed to elude a positive reputation in the verbal and written forms of English.

Essentially, everyone has an opinion about a first impression. It's impossible to not have a thought about an initial experience or interaction. Even if you don't remember one way or the other, that says something about the impression you were left with from the experience.

So go ahead. Think something. Say something. Form an opinion. Communicate. Judge a book by its cover. See where it takes you. Just remember, timing is everything. Choose your moments wisely.
