names!
You develop a new theory or make a
scientific discovery to a comet or an
insect, you sweat and blood in the
research and what do you get in return?! You get to name it after your name!!!!
It's pretty satisfying just to get to put
your name on something every body will
see till the end of time, this is fulfilling
enough and really worth your while!
Artists and writers are very familiar with
this fact; they spend so much time and
money– sometimes even more than they
make- just to get their names to be
recognized. It's like the old Egyptian
saying: "Fame rather than wealth!" Even children, they play in a field or a
big garden with many trees until they
get tired, they rest underneath the most
ager tree, and start to etch..
Do they write a word of wisdom to
be passed on?
Do they make a map to show the
way?
Do they even write a joke?! Or what
they think to be the "coolest" thing
ever?!
No, none of the above, just their
NAMES! Every body is extremely proud of their
names even if they didn’t like it!
Names state who we are, it's our
identity, our very existence. It's the
proof that we are alive and present in
this world.
So imagine how offensive it is to meet
someone, talk for a long time and don't
catch their name!
It is very important to catch your
speaker's name quickly and don't ever lose it! And maybe "show" them some
how that you did; like when you say:
- (Well, Mary, it's been pleasure really).
- (Thank you Mr.Potts for your time, it's
been very useful).
This produces a real comfort and a pure
light gladness you can sometimes see
with your own eyes.
Isn’t it funny how loud & scary our roars
can be though we humans are such a
fragile creatures!
