Simplified meaning
When you meet someone for the first time, their appearance and how they present themselves can have the strongest impact on you. This is similar to how a bright billboard catches your eye immediately, but the more you see it, the less you notice it. For example, when you start a new job, you might remember what your new colleague looks like and how they greeted you. Over time, as you get to know them better, their physical appearance becomes less important, and you focus more on their personality, skills, and little quirks. Therefore, first impressions are powerful and memorable because that's when we notice most details. However, you shouldn't form lasting judgments based on this initial encounter alone; take the time to learn more about the person beyond their initial appearance.
