* Think about your work -- and your appearance -- from the customer's
point of view. How would you feel if you were spending millions of
dollars on a project and had to meet with someone in a business suit
or sport jacket and slacks, tie, and dress shoes? How much faith could
you put into this person's presentation? Would you feel that they were
committed professionals, or people wasting your money by simply making
their presentation "look" nice?
> * Quality in your appearance helps make what you do worthwhile --

> -- the best and look your best
* Quality in your appearance serves only to distract from poor
product. Produce worthwhile product instead -- not just for the
company, but for you. It feels good to do -- and be -- the best,
without resorting to shallow tactics to artifically inflate your
self-esteem.

* Formal dress is best left for evening as weekends; if you dress
formally for work, you may be called for a meeting with company
executives and you will look out-of-place along side the other
casually dressed attendees.

* Career development -- do you look like a manager, like a person that
can solve problems, like a person with a positive outlook and
self-esteem? Or do you look like some schmoe with no life and nothing
more important to do than match their socks? Do you look like a
person who spent too long getting out of the house this morning?
