Are you a slow person or a fast person? Do you like to stay busy, or do you enjoy doing nothing sometimes? Do you prefer the highway or country roads?
We all know that the pace of life is different in different places and cultures. When we visit a place for the first time, we get a general idea of the place and what life is like there. The pace of life helps to form this general impression. The pace of life in a city, for example, is a big part of its unique atmosphere.
This isn't just true for cities and countries, however. There are also big differences in pace between individuals, even individuals within the same culture living in the same town. Next-door neighbors can experience life at completely different paces.

According to psychologists, people from first impressions based first on how you look, then on how you sound, and finally on what you say.

Your physical appearance - how you look - makes up 55% of a first impression. This includes facial expressions, body language, and eye contact, as well as clothing and general appearance.

The way you sound makes up 38% of the first impression. This includes how fast or slowly, loudly or softly you speak, and your tone of voice. People listen to your tone of voice and decide whether you sound friendly or unfriendly, interested or bored, and happy or sad. What you say - the actual words you use - counts for only 7% of the message.
