Dear Bond,

Today, as I promised, our subject will be "You Never Get A
Second Chance To Make A First Impression."

Listen to this: When a person goes for a job interview, the
interviewer decides whether or not to hire that person in
the first 40-seconds.

And this: In a jury trial, the members of the jury make up
their minds as to whether the accused is guilty or innocent
during the first half hour or so (during the opening
argument) and they spend all the rest of the time the trial
takes in finding ways to justify the decision they have
already made.

And this: When a person falls in love it happens almost
instantaneously. After that, minor things like the truth
about the newly beloved are cast aside unless those "truths"
happen to reinforce the wonderfulness of said love subject.
