He would see faces in movies, on TV, in magazines, and in books
He thought that some of these faces might be right for himAnd
through the years, by keeing an ideal facial structure fixed in his
mindOr somewhere in the back of his mindThat he might, by
force of will, cause his face to approach those of his idealThe
change would be very subtleIt might take ten years or so
Gradually his face would change its' shapeA more hooked nose
Wider, thinner lipsBeady eyesA larger forehead

He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other
peopleThey had also molded their faced according to some
idealMaybe they imagined that their new face would better
suit their personalityOr maybe they imagined that their
personality would be forced to change to fit the new appear-
anceThis is why first impressions are often correct
Although some people might have made mistakesThey may have
arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them
They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish
whim, or momentary impulseSome may have gotten half-way
there, and then changed their minds

He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake
