Perception

Sometimes I've perceived that certain people have it all together, then you find out they don't. Everything on the outside looks well kept, nice house, pretty wife, one girl, one boy and that little puppy dog. Appearances are deceiving.

My boss gave me a really good tip. We're contractors so he said, "You don't want to walk into a government meeting with a suit and tie, hair slicked back looking like you're high roller. You'd give off the impression that you're making money off them, which you don't want to do. You want to go in there with casual clothes, maybe even jeans. But you don't want to go in there too raggedy then they'll look at you like you don't know what you're doing."

Perception can play a big roll in how we interact with society. Even though we shouldn't judge by appearances, that's the way it is.
