You only get one chance to make a first impression unless someone beats you to it. Life is all about first impressions, they lead to how people will remember you or treat you, if they will hire you or fire you, if they will respect you or neglect you and all those things will either equal happiness and success or sadness and rejection (and failure).
A first impression is endless and it’s yours to make. If someone beats you to the first impression and tells someone lies and taints your name and ruins your reputation it sticks especially if it comes from someone very powerful and it can ruin your life. And the person who purposefully spreads those lies and destroys another’s life should be held responsible.
