Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Have you ever heard that phrase?  You must have I'm sure, since it is a frequently used expression. Have you ever wondered how much you really mean to anyone?  You know your significant other really loves and adore you. (if he/she doesn't, you're in the wrong relationship!) Your children, if you have them, also adores you. (until they can't get what they want or get their own way, then they really are disgusted w/you!) Your extended families, friends, co-workers....how much do you think they really care about you?


Lets face it, some of these people don't even like you, so they probably won't miss you one bit!  It is amazing to know that the people you hardly know will care more for you than any of the people you think might!  Is this true, or are we too quick to jump to conclusions?  Perhaps!  It is humane to not think too often about someone (or something) that is not a natural part of your life on a daily basis, isn't that true?.  For example, If I don't have anything to do with your life, and I'm only there whenever you choose to browse Blogger, then am I not quickly forgotten?  Maybe.  Unless I leave an impressionable mark on your psyche with one of my winning articles! 

We each leave our own mark in our own world.  You are either the type that will fade into the background where no one remembers your name, or what you look like; or you're going to be one to notice!  Just don't be the annoying one that everyone would rather sooner forget!  You want to leave a good impression on anyone you meet.  To have someone who is not in your immediate circle remember you, then you have to work for it! That means, if you meet someone in person, giving a firm handshake, looking the person in the eye, listening attentively and having a good conversation that hopefully means you have great chemistry (meaning you have a mutual first-time-meeting-seems-like-a-nice-person respect for each other!) and keeping in touch, in whatever medium necessary to foster a good relationship!  

If your meeting is on line, then that means interacting on the medium of choice, on a daily basis, and in a manner not to be considered a nuisance.  Although these days it doesn't seem to take much to annoy anyone because some people's temperament is at the threshold of very low tolerance-which isn't a good thing! What do you do about people with low threshold of intolerance, who do not seem to care whether you do exist or not?  Whose every existence is flapping around in their own noise?  Why WE, YOU forget them of course!  They're just a blip on your radar!
