[00:00:20] He would see faces in movies on T V

[00:00:24] In magazines and in books

[00:00:27] He thought that some of these faces

[00:00:29] Might be right for him

[00:00:31] And through the years

[00:00:34] By keeing an ideal facial

[00:00:35] Structure fixed in his mind

[00:00:37] Or somewhere in the back of his mind

[00:00:40] That he might

[00:00:42] By force of will cause his face

[00:00:45] To approach those of his ideal

[00:00:50] The change would be very subtle

[00:00:54] It might take ten years or so

[00:00:59] Gradually his face would change its' shape

[00:01:03] A more hooked nose

[00:01:06] Wider thinner lips

[00:01:09] Beady eyes

[00:01:14] A larger forehead

[00:01:28] He imagined that this was an ability

[00:01:31] He shared with most other people

[00:01:34] They had also molded

[00:01:35] Their faced according to some ideal

[00:01:38] Maybe they imagined

[00:01:39] That their new face would better

[00:01:42] Suit their personality

[00:01:43] Or maybe they imagined that their

[00:01:46] Personality would be forced to

[00:01:49] Change to fit the new appearance

[00:01:58] This is why first impressions are often correct

[00:02:07] Although some people might have made mistakes

[00:02:12] They may have

[00:02:13] Arrived at an appearance

[00:02:15] That bears no relationship to the

[00:02:18] They may have picked an ideal

[00:02:20] Appearance based on some childish

[00:02:23] Whim or momentary impulse

[00:02:28] Some may have gotten half way

[00:02:29] There and then changed their minds

[00:02:47] He wonders if he too might

[00:02:49] Have made a similar mistake
