Example from my life about this topic
I have an experience about first impressions. It is true that it can mislead us. I remember when I was taking the math class. I saw a guy from Asia. I thought he must be good at math, so I tried to ask him about math. However, it was just my first impression. He wasn't good at math. The first impression can really mislead us.
