REMEMBER PEOPLE

‘You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.’

Dale Carnegie

How good are you at remembering details and facts about people? Politicians such as George Osborne and Bill Clinton are renowned for their ability to remember tiny details years later. It’s surprising and delightful when someone you haven’t met for a long time shows that they remember you. It may seem insignificant but, if you remember people, they will remember you and that’s essential if you want to be successful in life.

OK, so some people are blessed with photographic memories but the rest of us can do this too with a little work. Keep a notebook. Jot down the names and a few personal details of everyone you meet. If you’re going to a party or work meeting and you know who’s going to be there, you can quickly refresh your memory before you arrive.

Today with social media you can connect with more people than ever before. You might have thousands of connections on Facebook or LinkedIn, but how many do you really know? The psychologist Robin Dunbar suggests 150 people is the maximum number that humans can comfortably have as friends. For the rest – get your notebook ready.
