Making an impression

Its all about making an impression..
Whether its kids trying to impress the teacher by prompt answers, whether its an employee trying to impress the boss by taking credit for work done or if its a anybody trying to impress the opposite sex by better attire or wit.. We all strive for attention.
Human beings are hungry for love and attention.. They tend to even get very selfish to get the desired attention.
There are times when I have seen my colleagues tread on each and other trying to get the boss's attention. In school, I have seen boys doing crazy things to catch a eye of the pretty girl.
The question to ask is .. Is this behaviour our weakness or our strength ?.. Does it give us a reason to live in our daily mundane life or does it make animals out of us. ? Fighting with each other to get ahead..?

Universal truth!!!I pondered on this for quite a while but dont yet seem to answer your question. I was trying to imagine what wld it be like if people stopped craving for attention..WOW, that would be a selfless world. I think Making an impression is our weakness which finds avenues to bring out the non-exisiting strength within us.

Because man is a social animal, and is constantly searching for love and affection, oddly enough this yearn for love becomes destructive and competetive.
And I believe the one who can achieve all of it, is the one who wont care about it.

i dont see much harm in it...
cause every time we set out to make an impression...
we are projecting the better half of ourselves...
whats sad it that very often we do it for too small incentives...

My two bit:

I feel there is nothing wrong in wanting to make an impression on someone.

Problem starts when to create a good impression, people stop being themselves...
