Day 90
26th October 2011
`If you want to win friends, make it a point to remember them. If you remember my name, you pay me a subtle compliment; you indicate that I have made an impression on you. Remember my name and you add to my feeling of importance.'
Dale Carnegie
I wish you all a very happy and bright Diwali!
Respect and Remember Names.
Do you give importance to remember peoples' name? It is a basic courtesy you can show to any person who is introduced to you.
A name is a very emotional thing for a person. The happiest time for a parent is the day when they give a name for their child. From our childhood days we have been repeatedly called by our names. When we achieve something we are given a certificate carrying our name and we proudly show it to many people.
Don't we feel happy when someone addresses us by our correct name?
Remember the following basic etiquettes:
- Take interest to remember and recall a person's name.
- If there a special way in which the person wants his name to be spelt based on numerology sentiments, respect the same.
- When you address a letter or any communication, use the correct spelling with the correct first name, initial etc.
- After meeting a person on several occasions, don't embarrass him by asking his name once again or calling him by a wrong name. You are insulting him.
There so much in a name!
