Common name – success in your career

The first thing that can have a big impact on a person's success is the frequency of his name. In other words, if your name is common you tend to be a more successful person. Many researchers have confirmed that if your name is common, you are more likely to be hired or even get a higher position job offers.

It randomly shows the most successful and beautiful names and this may help every parent worldwide to find and choose that brilliant name for their baby.

Middle initials reveal higher competence

Secondly, if a person tends to use the middle initial it makes people believe that the person is more competent and smarter. According to the studies, where students have to rate the same essay with one of three styles of author names, due to middle initials, authors have received better marks. On top of that, the one author with the highest number of initials received the best review of all.

Noble name higher tendency to work in a high-ranking position

In German studies, many names and ranks within the companies have been analyzed. Those people who have more noble names had a tendency to take higher ranking positions. According to the psychologist, there is a theory that people automatically link previous knowledge and emotions with similar phrases or even names, or words. This may have an effect on people's decision-making when choosing a leader. In this surprising way, your name can also influence your career life in a positive manner and even have an effect on a higher income perspective.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
