Have you ever heard the phrase "You never get a second chance to make a first impression（印象）"？ It may sound like an unusual piece of advice，but it is true﹣the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future．
What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds．When you meet someone for the first time，by the time you have stated your name or shaken hands，the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are．
So how do you make a good first impression？All things grown up tell you such as being polite，and being well﹣dressed are very important．However，the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face．
Smiling，being responsive，and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive（积极的）impression on people，especially those who do not know you．Most people，generally speaking，are ready to smile back when they are smiled at．
Furthermore，smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things．This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly．So if you ever need a reason to be happy，think about the wonderful people you might meet and impress with a cheerful smile．

One of the biggest mistakes a person can make is to try not to make mistakes． As you make decisions in your life， you will very likely make some mistakes． But making mistakes is a big part of how you gain （获得）experience．
A simple example．You do poorly on a test because you didn't study hard enough．One bad test is not the end of the world， but it can quickly teach you that if you don't study，you won't do well．
Mistakes sometimes lead to arguments（争论） between people， But if you learn to understand things from another person's point of view， you will be able to learn very quickly from the mistakes you make and the mistakes you think other people have made． You can turn mistakes into opportunities（机会）．
For example， if you learn to understand others' feelings and problems， you will understand the people you work with much better instead of getting angry． And you will leam to talk about problems and be more patient with people you don't agree with﹣a friend， or a mate in your workroom or company．
So next time you think you've made a mistake， stop and ask yourself what you've learned from it， and what you will do differently in the future．
Show me the person in the room who has made a lot of mistakes， and I'll show you the person who has probably learned a lot．
