I should take more of an effort to remember people’s names. The thing is I can remember your name better if I’m not introduced to you. For example, if I was sitting somewhere with my friend or something and they pointed out people around us and what their names were, I would remember. However, if you introduce me to them, I won’t. I won’t because I don’t even bother to listen to the name. I know, bad habit. It just goes so quickly. Hi I’m blah blah, hi I’m blah blah. And then you move on.

Once I was at church and my friend introduced me to two people. About 5 minutes after that, not only did I not remember their name, I didn’t even remember what they looked like! Sheesh! I was like, who did you just introduce me to again? She was like, they’re right there (standing right beside me), you want me to introduce you again? Oops.

I bring this up because its nice for people to know your name. Today at work, I passed by this one guy and he knew my name and asked how I was doing. I knew his name but I didn’t think he knew my name. I also bumped into another guy that I met for the first time last week and he remembered my name too. What’s even cooler is that the CEO knows everyones name. It’s just a nice feeling, so I should definitely try to pay attention to who I’m being introduced to, what they look like, and what their name is.
