The first impression arrives instantly.
It feels like insight. It's actually a guess.

Speed creates confidence.
But confidence is not accuracy.

The mind hates uncertainty.
So it fills gaps with assumptions and calls the result knowledge.

This is useful for survival.
It is dangerous for judgement.

What you see first is not what is there.
It is what you were ready to see.

The wise do not discard first impressions.
They simply refuse to trust them untested.

Hold the judgement lightly.
Ask the second question.
Wait for the fuller picture.

First drafts are for revision.
Treat your impressions the same way.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‍​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‍‌​‍​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍​​​​‌‍​​‍​​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​​‍‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍​‌‍‌​​‍‌​‌​​​​​‍​​​​‍‌​‍​​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​‍‌​‌‌​‍​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌‍‌‍‌‍​‍‌‍​‍​‌‌‍‌‍​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍​​‌‌‍‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‍​‌​​‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​​​‍​​‍​​‍​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‍​‍​‌​​‍‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‌​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‍​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‍‌​‍​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍​​​​‌‍​​‍​​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​​‍‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍​‌‍‌​​‍‌​‌​​​​​‍​​​​‍‌​‍​​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​‍‌​‌‌​‍​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌‍‌‍‌‍​‍‌‍​‍​‌‌‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍​​‌‌‍‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‍​‌​​‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​​​‍​​‍​​‍​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‍​‍​‌​​‍‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‌​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​‌​​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍‌‌
