Names

Although it is so easy to judge someone based on his name, does it really define him?  I say no.  Our names may tell us where we are from, but our names have no such influence on our personalities.  A name doesn't define a person, a person defines his name. For example, lets imagine a hypothetical person named Mark.   When people say: you don't look like a Mark, or: the name Mark suits you, there is no ultimate definition of how all Marks should act or look like which they relate to.  In reality, these people are just relating Mark to other people they know also with the name Mark.  They are basing someone off the personalities of others with the same name, because those others didn't only define their name for themselves, but for other people as well.   Names are not some final ultimatum, that define who one is and who he will ever be.   Never forget that the way people remember one's name is how he defines it, and it is up to him to decide how he will do so.
