"Don't Judge a Book by its Cover" (UnKnown)
I love to hear people say that they aren't the type to judge a person upon first encounter. But let's be honest folks: Fish swim, birds fly, people judge. It's ingrained in us. You pass a person sporting an afro you might think they: A. write poetry or B. militant. You stumble across a fashion blog you might think the individual is vain or a wanna be model. It's in us to label individuals and judge off of first encounters. But hopefully you have evolved enough to move past that first glance and try to learn about the individual. The old adage "Don't judge a book by its cover" is true. We shouldn't prejudge the worth or value of something, by its outward appearance alone. We should always try to go into every situation with an open mind and no preconceived notions.
Have you ever almost missed out on an opportunity because you were hung up on the cover?
Affectionately yours,
Beautifully Flawed
