About This Quote

Introductions are important because they help us to know what it means when we meet someone, even if we both already know what it means. When you introduce yourself to someone, you are making an initial statement about who you are and who you want to be known as by that person. You are also giving that person information about your actions and habits that will shape the course of their future interactions with you.
