How to Win Friends and Influence People: Part 2, Principle 3

"Remember that a person's name is, to that person, the sweetest and most important sound in any language."

This is another part of arousing a genuine interest in others.  People want to be recognized and given credit, but not collectively.  They want it individually.  Remembering a person's name after only one time of meeting them will make them feel like they matter to you.  It is very true.  I have gone to talk to a professor only a few weeks after the class stopped meeting and he couldn't even remember my face!  Much less my name.  It was disheartening.  Immediately I began to think I had made no notable points or submitted any memorable work in his class.  Needless, to say I can no longer remember his name either.
