Table of Contents The chief reason you "forget" a name is that you never knew it in the first place. Stop for a moment to think about the usual introduction. A friend of yours says, "I'd like you to meet Mr. New—m." You offer your hand and say "How do you do. Glad to meet you." Now what is the man's name? Newsom? Newton? Newman? Newlin? Let's repeat the introduction. The man you have just met is Mr. Newsom. His picture is on the next page. Whenever you fail to hear a name distinctly, don't let it ride, hoping you'll catch the name during the conversation. Speak up at once. Say, "I'm sorry, but I didn't get the name." Your new acquaintance won't be offended. On the contrary, you will be paying him a genuine compliment by showing him that you really want to know who he is. |
