On the importance of a name
Interestingly, recently the importance of a name has been brought into hot discussion.
Some people strongly believe that a name is responsible for a person’s fate, that’s why they would take all the trouble to try various ways to find wonderful names for their children, expecting the names would work magic for a glorious future. According to these people, a child may grow up happy, smart, attractive, elegant or successful due to their names。
Despite that, others have voiced a different opinion that a name is relatively insignificant comparing to the efforts a person makes to realize his/her future dream as a person’s fate is dominantly decided by a person himself/herself instead of the name he/she was given at his/her birth. Opportunities may count; and a person’s own efforts and decisions definitely count; but a name simply functions as the way of the person being called by others, which doesn’t work to change one’s life。
As far as I am concerned, a beautiful name certainly is one of the factors to make a great first impression. However, it’s not so important and powerful as to decide a person’s future. To grab the fate, we need intelligence, honesty, sincerity and efforts more than a name。
