Thought of the Day #????: Integrity and Body Language.

I have difficulty remembering names, so I just treat everybody equally well, all the time.

On the same note, I think there's a lot that people instinctively deduce, rightly or wrongly, from a person's face and body language. Some faces look smarter than others. Other faces look more athletic. Some women look less menacing than others. Some men just look younger than others, even if both have no wrinkles.

I used to be scared of people who had naturally scary, domineering faces. Over many errors though, I began to be more skeptical of my own first impressions and actually probed before projecting.

So, the next step is to stop projecting. And I do. But for now, only if the ice is broken, either by me or someone I trust.
