  What it means

  First impressions and appearances matter. People judge you and treat you based on how you present yourself.

  English equivalent

  You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

  Vocabulary

  • widzieć — to see
  • pisać — to write; here: to judge, to assess

  Grammar note

  'Cię' is the accusative of 'ty' (you). 'Jak… tak…' is a correlative: 'as… so…'.

  Cultural context

  'Piszą' here means 'they write you up' — how others record or perceive you. Appearance and presentation are taken seriously in Polish culture.
