Time After Time!

What do they say about 'Impressions'? First impressions are the last, right? Or whether, impressions are a function of time? I somehow never understood this completely. I know the case of a certain someone who is just like all of us. Works as hard as anyone. Tries to do the right thing. But, either there is some problem within him or by some unknown reason, there is always a misfit. He is fiesty and holds strong, but now he is losing the grip. The once pursued as a person of an above average IQ and a very high EQ, is now at the nadir of 'self esteem' Like in a recent movie 'Angrez' that I saw, where the protogonist says 'There are certain things in life, that you just can't fix. You have to leave it to time' BUT, the question remains, how much time does 'TIME'actually take? And what does 'TIME' do all this 'TIME' when the person's intellect is questioned? And whether all this, is it even worth all the 'TIME' n 'EFFORT'? The impression that he has left behind is probably never going to get erased from the other's mind. Sometimes, I hope 'Impressions' dont turn out to be 'Everlasting', coz in that case, people would never get a second chance!
