Importance of the Impressions We Give to Onlookers.

In a Nigerian high school, a student was waiting to see his teacher but the teacher was having a closed-door meeting with the school principal. When the "meeting" appeared to be taking too long for the student, he alerted some of his classmates.

And by the time the meeting was over, the students observed both the principal and the teacher as they emerged from the office. It was then that the mischievously curious students noticed the principal's appearance below the waist. One of them took the picture above and posted it on the internet.

Now, this is where impression comes in. It will never matter what happened between the principal and the teacher behind the closed door. What matters is the very wrong impression that the principal has created in the very embarrassing picture. For instance, how is the woman involved in this picture ever going to explain to her husband, family and friends about what really transpired between them? Her personal reputation is on the line! 

The big lesson here is that a woman and, especially, a respectably-married woman, must be very careful about whomsoever they associate with at work and elsewhere.
