Pleased to meet you; is a phrase, said on being introduced to someone. As we go about our daily routine we met countless individuals, oftentimes we strike acquaintance and make friends. Eventually we meet more people than we can count or stay in touch with. Your social disposition, age, temperament occupation will affect who you meet; other factors like your passion and vision will decide who stays and who leaves.
Ultimately, everyone we know will be prescribed a role they will play in our life. Of all the people you have met, or may yet meet. Someone, particularly stands out for several reasons.
Who is this person, how and why does the person stand out?
Perhaps, because this person is closer than close. The person is very likely your greatest ally, counselor and friend. This person will be the first to buy into your vision. Come what may, the person will never lose faith in you. This person will walk you through life and keep you company at all times, from the delivery room to the death bed.
Are you are still wondering who this person is? You know the person, and you probably have not given the person his/her pride of place, you are yet to usher the person to your hall of fame.
This person is none other than you. The whole notion of potential maximization and capacity development and fulfilment is hinged on self-awareness, knowing who you are. Knowing anyone starts with meeting the person, so introduce yourself to you. I mean meet the you in your minds-eye and summarize the introduction with the clause
“pleased to meet you”.
From now on, having met yourself, accord yourself the honour due. Treat yourself as a brand, exquisitely package yourself, continually add value to yourself as well as to those around you and in a short while you will feature in other peoples hall of fame.
Getting to know you is a continuous exercise. I hope you realize that the most relevant person on earth remains you. The next time someone says “pleased to meet you” bask in the euphoria that they recognize your uniqueness and ponder in your heart if they like you have had the privilege of meeting themselves.
