DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. The saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ goes a very long way; I learnt my lesson the hard way. I happened to be a very judgmental teenager and I lost many friends that way. Even before speaking with or having any contact with an individual‚ I judged them based on what I saw on the outside.
