What is inside matters the most

There is an old adage that says; "do not judge a book by its cover". It is definitely a fact that the first thing we see about a book is its cover, which can be what entices us to read about the book, but the truth is that no book has being ever ranked as being a good book by it cover design or its name.

What is inside a book is what matters the most and by words inside we can judge if a book is worth reading or not.

It’s the same for people. We have the tendency to judge people based on the clothes they wear, their body language, facial expressions, and their overall outward vibe.

If we based our judgments solely on these we are often incorrect, but yet we do it anyway because it the outward appearance that we first notice.

Our brain always attempts to use these outward signals as shortcuts to our first impression of a person. Instant judgements are almost always biased and often incorrect.

How we feel about a stranger is not necessarily an accurate representation of who they truly are.

This kind of judgement often result to a mistake. Studies have shown that people who are really happy are more prone to wear simple clothes. I have seen extremely rich People dress so causal that if not that they are well known, you might doubt if they are truly rich.

Meanwhile people who are stressed or wants to impress others on the other hand, tend to put more care into the way they dress. They wear high-quality clothes and put more effort into their wardrobe. But clothes don’t reveal the real person behind them.

Everything you think about someone else is already inside you. It’s not the case that a person who dresses hipster is creative, while someone who dresses in formal clothes is boring.

The moment we start judging people based on the first impression they give, we stop looking at their personalities, their character, and the way they treat others. We focus solely on the way they look, which is both unhealthy and unfair.

We are all products of our past experiences and our surroundings. This can make us biased by nature. We live in a world where we rank or rate people based on materialistic possession, upbringing, educational background and so on.

Let look at this scenario; you went for a job interview and the only reason you didn't get the job is because the boss decides to hire someone from a more prestigious university than yours. Even if you have the same credentials as the person who got the job, you're being overlooked for opportunities because of your school’s reputation

While biases may seem justified by the way some people look or what they wear, you cannot allow them to make decisions for you. In order to achieve your goals, you must learn to quickly trust your gut and ignore what others think about you.

In conclusion

Personality is what people think of you but character is what you are truly in the dark ( when no one is there or looking at you)

The inner self is what counts, because the outward appearance can be nothing but just a facade.

Look at yourself in the mirror, and ask yourself; "who is truly in the mirror". A lot of people tend to be more concerned about looking good on the outside, but I believe that it’s not just about how you look physically. It’s not just about looking good, it’s about being good in the inside.

Instead let our inner mind and outward appearance sync to reflect kindness, honesty and humility.

Everyone is looking for someone with whom he feels good and comfortable - and then it doesn't matter what your weight, hair color, height... What's important is the place you occupy in this person's life.

Judging someone by their outward looks and demeanor is something called first impression, and sometimes it's accurate. The first impression you have of someone is the conclusion your brain arrives at after seeing the person's attitude and body language for the first time, and although it's not the total representation of the person's personality or character, sometimes it's accurate. It's just like how sometimes you can tell if a book will be good or not just by looking at the cover, it's human instints

There many great books out there with covers not attractive but that doesn't make them less a great book. First impression does have it importance but not all the case are correct. You can meet me dressing in certain way maybe due to a particular reason perhaps my clothes hasn't been returned by the dry cleaners (lol)

A food is also loved by it's inside how it tastes. Sure a well presented food catches attention. But people will go where it tastes better. Nicely explained this topic dear.

it is always the case that books should never be judged by their cover. but, before reading the content of the book one must be attracted by its cover. that's to say if something must always draw one to take a closer look at then the cover must be attractive enough. however we see try to make see the irrelevance of the facade, it just matters as the first lead to an investigation.

Hmmm, this is a serious case we need to look into, many don't care about the inner man first at all, they just judge based on the outside immediately and that's all which is wrong.

We need to watch people carefully and not only based on words or their physical act.

I tell people this everyday: "don't call me beautiful, beauty lies within." You're truly right. One shouldn't judge a book by its cover. "That she wears long, flowing skirts and gowns makes her no saint." I love the example you cited about the job interview. What the interviewer did was completely wrong.
