[00:19.76]He would see faces in movies, on TV
[00:24.24]In magasines and in books
[00:27.42]He thought that some of these faces might be right for him
[00:31.66]And that through the years
[00:33.21]By keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his mind
[00:37.48]Or somewhere in the back of his mind
[00:40.17]That he might, by force of will
[00:44.18]Cause his face to approach those of his ideal
[00:49.44]The change would be very subtle
[00:54.28]It might take ten years or so
[00:59.42]Gradually his face would change its shape
[01:03.36]A more hooked nose
[01:05.97]Wider, thinner lips
[01:09.71]Beady eyes
[01:14.15]A larger forehead
[01:15.56]
[01:28.45]He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other people
[01:34.03]They had also molded their faces according to some ideal
[01:38.79]Maybe they imagined their new face
[01:41.44]Would better suit their personality
[01:43.89]Or maybe they imagined that their personality
[01:48.33]Would be forced to change to fit the new appearance
[01:58.44]This is why first impressions are often correct
[02:07.69]Although some people might have made mistakes
[02:12.95]They may have arrived at an appearance
[02:15.73]That bears no relationship to them
[02:18.83]They may have picked an ideal appearance
[02:21.79]Based on some childish whim, or momentary impulse
[02:28.15]Some may have gotten halfway there
[02:32.66]And then changed their minds
[02:34.61]
[02:47.38]He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake
[02:51.22]
