haha i think its funny i just read a whole article about something as simple as shaking hands but besides that it was interesting, and i do believe that a hand shake is very important and do feel it will help you be remembered, and show that you are strong and respectable.

A handshake reveals your personality towards others. Very interesting.

Heh, interesting. Just make sure you don't have sweaty hands. I always usually find a reason to pad off my hand. Sometimes just whiping on the inside of your pocket works. I know it sounds odd but it works.

This was brought up in a public speaking program I participated in a couple years back; I'd have to agree on the importance of your handshake. In my second year of the public speaking course I was president, so I was constantly shaking people's hands, and I was constantly amazed at what you could learn from a person through a hand shake.

I think the way a prson shakes hands is very important. You can tell a lot from a person if they give a limp handshake. Basically if someone shook my hand and it was like holding a fish, I'd expect they just didn't want to be in my presence or felt I was insignificant. It's like what's the point of shaking hands if you don't even bother to shake? Haha.
