Remembering Names
I have often found myself being introduced to someone and then promptly forgetting their name. Then the conversation goes on and it gets to be too late for it to be polite to ask the other person's name. At that point, it is just embarrassing. Fortunately, there are ways to remember names. You should always use people's names in conversation. It will help you remember it and make the other person feel good. You should even use it before saying your name and then when you are saying good bye. If you associate their name with something about their personality of physical features, it will make it much easier for you to remember them. Try writing them dow later too, even a mobile application will do. Remembering names is one of the most powerful things you can do to make people feel important and to build meaningful relationships. Few things are a better use of your time and energy than developing this valuable skill.

If you put the name in a mobile application, you are still likely to forget it. Actually write it down and use it when you see the other person.
