Last Impressions are Lasting Impressions

You Never Have a Second Chance...Not to Have Fallen Down Those Stairs

Is There a Last Impression?
In a previous post I posed the ubiquitous, if not paradoxical, question of whether there is indeed a second chance to make a first impression.  The post was about ensuring that when you are leaving a room, a conversation, your workplace, or some other interaction - as well as at the end of the email - you have something good to say.  In fact, I went so far as to assert that you never have a second chance to make a last impression. 

Make it Last
This post takes it a step further to state that - last impressions are lasting impressions - meaning be weary of not only what you say, but also how you perform your exit.  Is it covered in ketchup?  Dragging toilet paper behind you? Stumbling down stairs? Pouting like a small child that did not get a new flat screen TV?  Red faced and irritable?  Or did you just sneak out like a ninja after a successful assassination?

And to continue a major the me of this BLOG.  It's your choice how you are remembered.
