GOLDEN LAWS OF HUMAN APPEARANCE 1. DON'T LOOK POOR. Your financial situation should not dictate how you present yourself to the world. Even when you are broke, make an effort to look decent. Wear clean, properly ironed clothes, maintain good personal hygiene and take care of yourself. People make assumptions based on appearance, sometimes before you even have the opportunity to demonstrate your capabilities. 2. TAKE CARE OF YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH. Your physical condition contributes significantly to your overall appearance. Exercise, eat properly, get enough sleep and take care of your body. 3. DRESS APPROPRIATELY FOR YOUR ENVIRONMENT. Learn to read the room. What works for a casual outing may be inappropriate for a corporate meeting. Understand the occasion, environment and expectations before choosing what to wear. 4. DON'T LOOK DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION. You don't have to announce your presence with everything you wear. Not every outfit needs to scream money, and not every designer item you own needs to be seen at once. Learn to dress well without making it look like you are competing with people or trying to prove a point. 5. MAINTAIN GOOD POSTURE. How you sit, stand and walk contributes to your overall appearance. Avoid slouching, dragging your feet or constantly looking down when walking. Good posture makes a difference in how you carry yourself. 6. ALWAYS LOOK CONFIDENT. Your posture, facial expressions, eye contact and body language communicate a lot about you. Walk like you belong in the room, speak confidently and avoid shrinking yourself around people. Be respectful without being servile. Carry yourself with dignity. 7. BE CONSCIOUS OF YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. Your face communicates emotions even when you are not speaking. Learn to relax your facial muscles, avoid constantly looking irritated or unapproachable and understand how your expressions influence people's perception of you. 8. MAINTAIN GOOD EYE CONTACT. When speaking with people, learn to maintain natural eye contact. Constantly looking away, staring at the floor or avoiding eye contact can affect how people interpret your confidence and level of engagement. 9. SMILE MORE OFTEN. You don't have to walk around with a serious face all day. A genuine smile makes you appear more approachable and welcoming. Learn to express warmth through your face. People generally find it easier to engage with someone who doesn't look permanently hostile. 10. UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF FIRST IMPRESSIONS. People form opinions about you from the moment they encounter you. Your appearance, composure, mannerisms and general presence all contribute to that impression. Don't leave your first impression entirely to chance.

No matter what you do, try everything possible not to look poor. Do not let your appearance announce your problems to the world. Even when you are broke, make an effort to look neat. Wash your clothes, iron them properly, maintain a good haircut and take care of yourself. You may not have money, but you don't have to look neglected. Looking poor can be one of the biggest disadvantages you create for yourself. People make assumptions about you long before they get to know you. Some of your fellow struggling people will avoid you, while certain opportunities and social circles may become inaccessible because of the impression you create. Appearance matters more than many people are willing to admit. You can be qualified for a job and still lose the opportunity because you don't look the part. Worse still, an employer may negotiate your salary down because your appearance gives them the impression that you are desperate and would accept anything. Some business deals may never come your way because people don't consider you financially capable of handling them or trustworthy enough to do business with. This is one of the reasons I don't blame people who invest heavily in their appearance. How you present yourself influences how people perceive, approach and sometimes treat you. Fair or unfair, that is the reality of human behaviour. Good looks and proper grooming are social currencies. Sometimes, your appearance gets you into rooms your qualifications alone may not get you into.
