About This Quote
The words in this quote are intended to be humorous, but they also illustrate the power of perception. This is particularly true in public perception. If you change your hairstyle, you can change how people see you. But, even more than that, you can change the way people think about you.
Perhaps this is why so many people are so concerned about what other people think of them. The quote also illustrates just how little control we have over how others see us.
