Got Hygiene?

Judging--everyone does it whether they try to or not. It's just in one's nature. This goes hand-in-hand with first impressions. A first impression is very important when meeting others.
It’s easy to understand that one can be tired from a long day of school, work, etc. and just wanna crash to bed.
Although one may be tired from the previous day’s tasks, one should think about the ones who have to deal with them the next day. If you go to bed earlier, then just wake up earlier and take a shower in the morning--it’s as simple as that.
When one doesn’t take care of his or her own personal hygiene, it causes problems such as
  • Bad first impressions. First impressions are crucial to judgement. Statistics show that employers in job interviews are likely to consider looks when picking an employee. Why not look good?
  • Others don’t want to be around someone with bad hygiene. Even if someone already knew a person and said person’s hygiene becomes poor over time, they won’t necessarily, honestly, want to be around that person. No one enjoys the foulness of B.O. Not keeping up with one’s personal hygiene can hinder his or her social reputation.
  • Faulty for one’s fitness. It’s not healthy to not take care of oneself. Not keeping up with one’s hygiene can actually do a lot of bad. For example, if one doesn’t clean his or her ears, he or she could get an ear infection. If someone doesn’t clean a cut after it happens, the cut could become infected and end up being worse than it started. Nothing good can come from not cleaning oneself.
If it’s as simple as taking a shower, washing one’s hands, brushing one’s hair, etc. to keep clean and healthy, then why not take the little time it takes to complete the minuscule tasks? Just consider how others may feel around you--hopefully one would want everyone around him or her to feel comfortable.
