Remembering names is an important social skill．Here are some ways to master it．

◆Recite and repeat in conversation．

When you hear a person’s name，repeat it．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial．

◆Ask the other person to recite and repeat．

You can let other people help you remember their names．After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names．

◆Admit you don’t know．

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed．Most of them will feel sympathy if you say，“I’m working to remember names better．Yours is right on the tip of my tongue．What is it again?”

◆Use associations．

Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual．For example，you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.” To reinforce（加强）your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

◆Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

The second enemy we face is indecision(优柔寡断). Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise．It will steal your chances for a better future．Take a sword to this enemy．

The third enemy inside is doubt．Sure，there’s room for healthy skepticism．You can’t believe everything．But you also can’t let doubt take over．Many people doubt the past, doubt the future，doubt each other，doubt the government，doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities．               , they doubt themselves．I’m telling you，doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success．It will empty both your bank account and your heart．Doubt is all enemy．Get rid of it．
