"Don't judge a book by its cover"*. Yet, we all do it- we make snap judgements based on appearance. The appearance of a persons clothing, their physical shape, their facial expression. Yes, we assess a person immediately based on how they look and act. It has been a survival tool for humanity. How quickly can you decide if someone is friend or foe?
Today is the first day of Winter Quarter. People I've never met are coming into the library for the first time. They are coming to a conclusion about me as quickly as I am about them. I hope we both will be generous with our quick take.
*from Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. Over 400 reference books are available in Credo Reference through GALILEO.
