Those things should certainly be the reasons we continue to talk or work with someone. But not everyone looks to the personality first. <br /><br />Most of the folks that I have met who share that they are "color blind", don't note the sequence you do.

A genuine smile, or a grin, that's the first thing that sways me in their favor. A friendly greeting, that's another. The eyes; life in the eyes. If any or all of these are in evidence, then I will definitely notice all the rest -- size, shape, color, age. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
