Surely Last is Longer Lasting?
We focus on making the right first impression, but what about the last? Surely that’s the bit people remember the most about a situation or a meeting, the most recent bit?
Finishing with a great desert can turn around a mediocre meal.
A conference will be more memorable if it goes out with a bang.
Your parting comments to a friend are usually nice ones.
A wonderful sunset finishes any day off beautifully.
Let a smile, a handshake or a kiss be the last thing that you give to someone before you part; be memorable last as well as first.

7 年So true we cannot judge a book by the cover as the saying goes. I agree how many times does your opinion change over time.

7 年I think the first impression is overrated. I've lost count of the times my impression of a person, place, event, company has changed over time. It's hard to remember that in the moment, though.
