"Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society...Literacy is a platform for demostration, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity...Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential." ---Kofi Annan

Okay, now, back to post B...
This has nothing to do with the theme but what the heck.

Can the first impression affect your relationship with one?
I think it can.
In Deception Point, Rachel said "Don't believe in politicians".
I found it quite interesting, since, first, her father is a politician, and this book's gave off the impression that politicians are mostly not trustworthy because they would always want to use you to their benefit.
Well, even afterwards, when Rachel found out that the President is not going to use her to his benefit but just asking her to present an information to his staff, she still doubt it.
Because Rachel had such terrible impression of politicians with her father, even after seeing the virtue of the President she still couldn't fully believe him.
In a more general situation, like meeting a friend of your friend, and you had a terrible first impression with that person, even after being friend with that person, you still have that doubt in your mind--did I made the right decision?
Well, first impression and the assumptions following it can be quite frightening.
Your brain can make up all the things that are just...quite painful and untrue.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

We all know this, but it's difficult to do.
At least every time I go to the book store, I check out the cover first. ::shrug::
