Topic: 120I disagree with the statement that the decisions people make quickly are always wrong.. You make the quick decision to accept the ride because it's late, you 're cold and tired

The reason is simple The clothes are crucial dimensions to insinuate people's routine behavior every day Psychologist calls it "Psycho-hint" So a clean suit and polished shoes would keep us in happy at some extent Or some people have proclivities to dress in bright color to relieve the

pressure they faced I think that a nice dress will give us more confident to handle the problem

We also build professional, sophisticated impressions for other people

Otherwise, People will probably be unresponsive to deal with things in casual dress This is related

to our future career directly Such as, we should dress tidily for job inter-view, just to give an examiner a good impression Nice clothes are perfect advertisement for individual image as same

as the package in the shop market We choose the attractive package, same, we feel close with a stranger dress in proper clothes

To this extent, clothes reflect our special national custom and culture These reminds root at our customs, personal discrimination, and occupations Calvin Kelen is famous for his simple style that defines the apparel of the whole American young generation in the early 20th century We also find that people in different occupations wear differently Bank employees, businessmen usually dress in dark suit since they should offer clients reliable impressions Teachers wear nice clothes that let their student feel kindly

Track to the long human history, our predecessor have developed the complete clothes system From the primitive leather to elaborated modern metal, clothes offer us the chances to express our unique views and show us the colorful life So do you consider that buy a nice apparel for yourself when go out next time?

People do behave differently depending on what they are wearing The reason is not because they have changed, but because people's reactions to them has changed

Certain clothes are appropriate for certain situations A man can wear a suit to work and a woman can wear something professional looking like a skirt and jacket

When everyone dresses the same, there is no problem It is like a uniform Imagine going to a law office to hire a lawyer One of the lawyers is wearing a suit; the other is wearing jeans Which lawyer do you want to hire? Similarly, a mechanic works on cars all day and wears clothes that can get dirty It would be strange to find a mechanic wearing a coat and tie to repair an engine

People will treat you differently depending on what you are wearing It will depend on how well they know you and where you are If your clothes are unusual for the situation, they may treat you with disrespect I remember once I had an old army coat I wore it into a fancy candy shop to buy some chocolates The woman was very suspicious and a little afraid I couldn't understand her reaction since it was still me underneath my big, old ugly green coat I was dressed like a bum and this caused the salesperson to react negatively to me Consequently, I was even more polite than usual

This experience shows me that sometimes I do behave differently because of what I'm wearing In this case, I had to balance my appearance Still, that doesn't mean that I'm rude if I dress up

I disagree with the statement that the decisions people make quickly are always wrong However,

I think those decisions probably turn out to be wrong more often than carefully made decisions

do Usually, fast decisions are based on what we call our "gut reactions," or feelings we have about a situation Sometimes these gut reactions are based on good sense backed by experience, but sometimes they're based on nonsense or poor reasoning

Let's say you're at work and the boss calls you to his office and tells you there's a big project that needs to be done He thinks you're the best person for the job, but he needs an answer from you

on the spot He hasn't told you what the project is, but you make the quick decision to accept This is the right quick decision, because you're basing it on a lot of factors that will occur to you later One is that it wouldn't make sense for the boss to ask you to do something he didn't think you could handle That would only hurt his business Plus, doing a good job on this project might help your career You realize it's good to reach higher, if you want to get ahead

But let's say you're on a deserted highway late at night and your car breaks down Along comes a car driven by someone who doesn't seem quite right to you He offers you a ride to the nearest gas station You make the quick decision to accept the ride because it's late, you 're cold and tired and you don't want to sit there waiting for the highway patrol to arrive This is a case where a quick decision is a wrong decision You shouldn't trade your personal safety for physical comfort, and if you thought about it, you wouldn't

How do you know when it's okay to make a quick decision? You have to be able to guess at the possible benefits versus the possible dangers If it's a small decision like where to go to lunch, .who cares? However, if my whole future were at stake, I'd want as much time as I could get to think about it

Some people argue as if it is a general truth that to make a wrong decision is better than to make

no decision at all But to be frank, I can not agree with them In my point of view, it is sagacious

to spend more time on preparing to dicide rather than hurry to make a wrong decision There are numerous reasons why I hold no confidence on them, and I would explore only a few primary ones here

The main problem with this argument is that it is ignorant of the basic fact that a bad decision will influnce the subsequence steps, and produce an unseccessful result even a failure There is a

famous saying, a good beginning is an half of succeed This proverb explain the important of

decision of the beginning, while something say the a deleterious effect of a wrong decision For example, when a graduate is confronted with the choice the job after leave the campus, the first decision is every important for the future work and live An inapposite choice could bring him or she successive problem, even mistaken the direction

Another reason why I disagree with the above statement is that I believe that not hurry to decide let people have more time to prepare and maybe they find an appropriate approach Since careful plan and deliberate arrangement will become the precondition of suceed, then spend more time on preparing is necessary In the instance above, the graduate should think over all sorts of the

factors, such as the qualification of himself or herself, the condition of the job and the advisement from consulter of the college and parents

The argument I support in the first paragraph is also in a position of advantage because careful arrangement will discovery the errors and mistakes in the decision And that will have the chance

to correct them, in order to make a right decision The errors or mistakes could exist in everyone’s thought I think the best way to eliminate them is think them over So it is sagacious to spend more time on preparing to dicide rather than hurry to make a wrong decision

General speaking, the deliberate consider can help to avoid the appearance of trouble effectively and to resolve problems successfully Taking into account of all these factors,we may reach the conclusion that, it is wiser to make no decision at all than to make a wrong decision

In our daily life, we will always be told a wealth of such cases as a guy who has fallen into love with a girl at the first sight, one of your friends who impresses your mother deeply on his or her first visit to your house and then is treated exceptionally well by your hard-to-be-pleased mother, and even the applicant who attracts to the HRM (human resources manager) immediately at the first sight of the interview and then is easily employed, to name just a few All of the

above-mentioned cases tell us many people in the world trust the first impressions of a person, his or her character, her conduct and her eloquence, etc., all of which he or she displays at each other's first meet But is all that he or she displays, or all that you understand through what he or she displays

or hints correct or just a blur image which needs to be proved in the later days?

Before we get the question to be treated, let’s think of the most probable (not absolutely) results

of the cases mentioned in the first paragraph:

The guy who has just experienced the above-said romance has to say goodbye to his

newly-known girlfriend because later on he finds out that the girl is not as good as she looks; the friend

of yours who has just won your hard-to-be-pleased mother's trust is criticized by your mother because of his or her great incoherency in the manners, and even the newly-employed employee

is dismissed because of he is not telling the truth in his resume Till now, do you still think the first impressions of a person’s character are dependable?

Psychologically, in our head we had a very perfect image of a person, of course, which varies from one another owing to his of her specific experiences, education and family background, his

or her own opinion about a special view, etc and when such a person as confirms with the image

in our head pretty congruently presents, we will, to great extent, overestimate or even exaggerate the his or her merits, while omit the shortcomings as we can help it Maybe this is the

psychological reason, thus we can ourselves lead to the answer to the question referred above that the first impressions of a person are generally incorrect and also irresponsible for yourself

In a word, to judge a person needs time and the first-sight impression is always undependable

Any opinion is, in fact, a judgment I feel that as Americans we would do well to judge others less often Still, we must be able to decide whom to spend our time with and whom we'd rather forget

In my opinion, this type of judgment is best after we get to know other people First impressions are not always accurate impressions

Judging a person based on a first impression does save time There are more people than anyone could possibly get to know in one lifetime It is frustrating to waste time getting to know someone, only to find out that your first impression was correct and that you really don't like him-or her So

is it a waste of time getting to know people you probably won't like? That seems to be a valid point of view, but I believe that it is not the best attitude to take

It's more humane to spend time getting to know people before judging them I know that I don't always make a good first impression, even when I truly like the person with whom lam interacting

We all have bad days I wouldn't want to lose a job or a potential friendship simply because I picked out the wrong clothing or said something wrong I think everyone deserves the chance to make a second impression

If we all based our final opinion of others on first impressions, it would be hard to get to know anyone There is always more to people than meets the eye If we don't give someone a chance,

we may be missing out on meeting a life-long friend That would truly be a shame

I think it's probably true that people are never satisfied with what they have They always want something more or something different from what is theirs This just seems to be part of our

human nature Look at a toddler Give her a toy to play with and she's happy-until she sees

something eke Then she wants that other toy to play with If she and her brother are each given a cookie, she'll look to see whose cookie is bigger She'll protest loudly if she thinks her brother is getting more

"The grass is always greener" is an old expression, but it's a good expression of how many of us feel We're always striving for a better job, a nicer place to live, a fancier car, or more expensive clothes Part of this reaching for more and better is because we care about what other people think and want to impress them Part of it is trying to make ourselves feel successful But there's also something in our nature that tells us we can do better and reach higher

This isn't always a negative quality There's another saying: "A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?" It's a good thing to be constantly pushing ourselves and looking for something different If we don't try for more and different things, we begin to, stagnate, like a pool that doesn't get any fresh water

The problem comes when we won't let ourselves be satisfied with anything we have If we have a comfortable life and still feel as if something's missing, then we need to look inward The

something that's missing may be in our spirit

Many of the world's religions share a belief that when a person is able to look at and confess his or her problems that person can begin to travel the road to emotional recovery A problem cannot be solved until it is clearly recognized I agree with the above statement because I believe that

dissatisfaction and suffering forces people to change

History presents many examples of dissatisfaction and change The history of China in this

the decaying imperial order, and so he created “revolution”; Mao was dissatisfied with the course

of events and so he intensified the revolution; finally, Deng pushed the Chinese economy towards free-market economics Hence, China progressed towards its new-found “superpower” status

In a not dissimilar way, during the eighteenth century many Americans became annoyed with direct British rule, and so the United States fought for and gained political independence

On a personal level, dissatisfaction can lead to change within friendship and marriage Perhaps it might even be said that true love cannot remain static Matrimony and friendship are explorations

of the higher emotions: they are pilgrimages towards the city of true values If husband and wife are prepared to confront and discuss their problems, a blue period can give way to many years of happiness Sometimes, for instance, a spouse may not recognize that the source of marital

unhappiness is that the other partner has developed a need to have children Whatever else may

be said, most people would agree that children change the lives of their parents

The best method of utilizing dissatisfaction is to change things before they get out of hand An intelligent man will constantly monitor his emotions; an intelligent politician will understand the mood of his people Some people might suggest that the transition to independence for Canada and Australia was much smoother than that of the United States because Britain allowed those two dominions to evolve with time To take the idea further, a good parent or an astute politician will even anticipate potential dissatisfactions and therefore take precautions

I agree with the above statement because, I believe that we mature through dissatisfaction

Without the ability to recognize our discontent, we could collapse into illness Suffering sharpens our senses

How could anyone suggest that people should only read about real events, real people, and

established facts? For one thing, that means people wouldn't be reading half of all the great books that have ever been written, not to mention the plays, short stones and poetry For another, it would mean that people's imaginations would not develop as children and would remain dulled throughout their lives

Reading stories as a child helps develop our creativity by teaching us a lot about how to use words

to create mental images It opens our world up, exposing us to other times and different ways of living Reading histories of those times would serve kind of the same purpose, but it probably wouldn't stick in our minds as sharply Reading an essay about poverty in Victorian England is not the same thing as reading Charles Dicken's Oliver Twist The images of a small boy being sold are more horrifying than simply reading the statement, "Children were sold into labor" because a novel makes that small boy seem real to us Reading fiction makes a more lasting impression on our minds and emotions

Besides, storytelling is an emotional need for human beings From earliest times, humans have taught their children about life, not by telling them facts and figures, but by telling them stories Some of these stones show what people are like (human nature), and help us experience a wide range of feelings Some make us think about how we should act Telling a child that it's wrong to lie will make little impression, but telling him the story of a little boy whose nose grows longer every time he tells a lie will make a big impression

Fiction is too important to our culture, our minds, and our emotions How could we ever give it up?

I have always considered that general knowledge is the best choice for me and universal learning the perfect means to support the phrase "knowledge for the sake of knowledge itself" But if I have to choose between the above-mentioned subjects I would definately concentrate on art and literature which I consider fit better my personality

Art and literature have a lot in common in that they require a different,quite often universal

approach to the world around us.They concenterate not so much on the black and white aspects

of living but on the colourful side of life; on tints rather than brightness.Maths and science study the form, the physical shape and its laws, but it is art and literature that fulfill this form with that ultimate meaning that only the human soul can sense

And it is the human soul that has so many faces, so many aspects and interpretations to all

things.That is why I appreciate the subjectivity of art and literature-the numerous realities they impose are closer to our inner world than the strict powers that rule that of science

One is free to tolerate, to critisize, to accept the form of art but not obey them

It is believed that Order came from Chaos.And if we can associate science and maths with Order

it sounds logical to claim that Chaos has a lot to do with art and literature.The well of our

unconscious brings forward the strangest powers and they show more of the universe than maths and science do.For Chaos is the beginning of life

Having in mind the above, I definately support art and literature as a better means for achieving universal knowledge.What is more, while maths and science closely deal with laws, they cannot in any way teach us about that "thin red line" separating bad and evil, while art and literature I

strongly believe can

Many people hold that studying scientific subjects is more beneficial than studying literary ones However, I do believe that each field has its own importance on our lives

Scientific subjects are definitely crucial to our development We wouldn't have come that a long way in scientific and cultural advancement if we didn't have subjects like math, physics,

chymistery and so on We, would't have conquored the space if we didn't have astronomy Also,

we wouldn't have found cures for dangerous deseases if we didn't have medicine Our life relies great deal on those subjects, so they are greatly vital to us Yet, I believe that some people are born with the skill to handle scientific research while others tend more towards literary subjects Therefore, people born with literary talents are also very useful to us Many aspects of our lives need to be treated by art and literature As human beings we also have feelings and emotions and those things need to be cared for as well So writers, painters and actors are functional elements in our everyday life When you're tired and you want to relax you might watch a comic movie or
