Remember that a man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in the English language.
Remember my name and you add to my feeling of importance.
It was this desire for a feeling of importance that led an uneducated, poverty-stricken grocery clerk to study some law books he found in the bottom of a barrel of household plunder that he had bought for fifty cents. You have probably heard of this grocery clerk. His name was Lincoln.
John Wanamaker, founder of the stores that bear his name, once confessed: "I learned thirty years ago that it is foolish to scold. I have enough trouble overcoming my own limitations without fretting over the fact that God has not seen fit to distribute evenly the gift of intelligence.
Names are the sweetest and most important sound in any language.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming more interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you
Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed possible.
Really important goals are accomplished by people who will keep trying even when there seems to be no hope.
