Appearance or Image Issue

People are greeted with their clothes and sent off with their knowledge and character.

What is Image?

To be honest, I have a worldview that doesn't care much about outward appearances. However, I'd be lying if I said I don't admire people who dress well either. I've never been good with a tie. I've always had the feeling that I'm suffocating when I wear a tie.

However, for today's people, wearing a tie is seen as a part of business life or important activities. The tie is part of his image. Also, not wearing a tie where it should be worn is not welcome. Let's expand on the image phenomenon or the thing called appearance, which is the component of many things like a tie.

I use the same meaning as perception, which is the image or the effect left on people. In today's world, image is the most effective key that opens the door for us in all social relations. The eyes of a person we meet for the first time literally take a picture of us in thirty seconds. Of course we'll take a picture of it too! We can mostly understand this from the eyes and body language of the person in front of us. A picture is formed in our brain at that moment. In this picture, our values, job, age, social status, education, etc. The "external image" mutually settles in the brains. The ancients called it the first "intiba", which is an Arabic word.

First Impression:

This first impression can sometimes be the last impression. Our business card, which we take out of our pocket and extend to the other person, does not mean much from now on. It's sad, but that's the reality of the world we live in, even if it's wrong. I am one of those who believe that appearance gives important messages to the other person. In a meeting, on the street, on a trip or at any invitation, if we can appeal to people's eyes with our clothes that suit us, if we can successfully display our identity that integrates with elegance and smiling face, if we can use our body language correctly that makes our self-confidence feel to the other person, if we can communicate effectively with the person we are chatting with, image It means we have the key.

A person with the right personal image and stance can easily win the sympathy of the masses with his ability to do a good job and an effective appearance as well as giving the same message inside and out. According to me; A good exterior is like a silent and unwritten letter of recommendation. In fact, your image is your business card or people are greeted with their clothes, sent off with their knowledge and characters, and their words are sayings that emphasize the importance of the image today.

If every good attitude, behavior, word, writing and human relationship we create in our social environment while working, thinking at every moment of our lives is crowned with grace, it will be beyond beautiful. It is a challenge that highlights the beautiful and positive message against the pain, monotony or simple, emotionless truths of life. It is an effort to make life livable. The pleasant colors we use in our harmoniously chosen clothes, which we will present to our environment with our image, and the effort to give a harmonious image in this context and to realize it is a source of happiness. This is now a sociological reality.

Holistic Image Understanding:

Even though I can't apply what I write most of the time, I am aware and aware that it is a social reality. I try to implement it on my own, on the spot and when the time comes. Because it doesn't fit my philosophy of life. Because I am one of those who express oneness. But you act with the truth of the majority.

We should all know that the most important factor that brings out our image is the way we dress. Male or female, it doesn't matter. All people should take care to be in harmony with colors, patterns and fabrics that are suitable for their age, lifestyle, fashion identity and appealing to the eye of the beholders. This is a courtesy we offer others. If the integrity of all the details, from the haircut that suits the person's face to the accessories that they will carry, creates a pleasant image, I say that the resulting stance or photograph is the image of the person.

Having a positive image should not be seen as a privileged concept offered only to individuals and groups with a certain income level. Every person at every level can benefit from the power of influencing people in front of his unique image, which he will create by applying this concept to his own living conditions.

Image is the first step of communication. Communication is the essence of life. Sometimes, a clean and harmonious tie, simple but elegant jewelry, a nice color, a pair of painted and polished shoes can also contribute to the integrity of communication. As long as all parts of the communication give the same pleasure to the eyes and speak the same language.

Conclusion:

For myself, I had the opportunity to meet and be together with people from different cultures, at very different levels, and even in seemingly inaccessible positions. I met with some of them once, and I made friendships and friendships with some of them. Much of the information I learned from these contacts, the details I became aware of, and the events that took place formed my experiences about the image of people. The image I left on all those people and they left on me has never been forgotten and has always been effective in relationships.

In particular, I have had good relations with almost all of the people I know with their calm mood and their loving and optimistic eyes, and we are still in contact. That's why I say that image is our life, it is our outward face. Let's know it won't be neglected.
