We all see people we randomly meet and judge them by how they act and dress and most specially how they look over all? But we can say that the way they dress and act somehow tell something about a person. But often times that the outer appearance is misleading and we often misjudge people and have already a prejudgment about a person. have you been guilty of thinking or misjudging a person as a no good person or have no talent just because he or she does not appear great, impressive or behave like an important person at all. Or have you been in occassion or gatherings where people looked down on you and have you felt that somehow they don't see who you really are. In this world, outer appearance very much have a big weight on what or how people will treat you and think about you. I think though it is really wrong people think about us like that like we are not good or that we think of others like that they are no good or just nobody. It just came to my mind about this topic when i saw a rag to riches story of this one famour person on tv.

Hi hotsummer, I think that we have all been guilty of this at one time or another, even if it was when we were younger. It is so easy to judge but now I try not to judge anyone, as I know that I can never know the whole story. Blessings.

that is so true. being young and without much knowledge that we often judge other people but as we get older we gained experience and knowledge and understanding and hopefully all adult knows that we can't judge a person by first impression or by what we see.

to judge one person,firstly,i will observe his face and the clothing he wear,then,i will see about what he talk and how he act. the later one is more important to judge one person,One's talk is easily to show his character.

I've done it quite often and usually I'm pretty good about my first instinct. There was one or two times were I changed my mind about a person but I'm usually spot on about them.

I rarely judge people by their looks.I tend to judge people on how they talk and act.most of the time,my judgment with a certain person is accurate.there are 2 or 3 persons that I have judged unfairly.I thought that I won't like them.in the end,I did like them,and we became friends.

yeah we are wrong on some people though most of the time we feel that we have made a right judgment all along.
