Making Lasting Impressions

Filed Under Making Lasting Impressions | 2 Comments

Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them. – Henry David Thoreau

Rajesh Setty lists in his book Beyond Code that the fourth step of the inner game of distinguishing oneself is to make lasting impressions. In making lasting impressions you show that you care about both others and the quality of your work. Be resourceful, and go beyond the call of duty. Most of all, leave a legacy so that people in general, or people at your company or project remember you when you’re gone.

If you want to win friends, make it a point to remember them. If you remember my name, you pay me a subtle compliment; you indicate that I have made an impression on you. Remember my name and you add to my feeling of importance.- Dale Carnegie
