First notebook entry: Introducing myself
My name is William1. I suggest you should leave this out in this kind of informal setting. Also it sounds to felicitous here. I it OK to say "It's my pleasure to..." after you have met face to face.
2. Try not to use "God" etc when you are meeting for the first time etc. This is because you sound too religious to the liking of the general populace especially so in the US. You will be frowned upon unless you are happening to be speaking to the clergy. So this is a cultural faux pas you may commit. So it is best not to invoke such terms.
3. This sort of humility may work well in Chinese or other languages but not in English unless you are writing a formal letter to some high ranking person, or as a (financial) service. For an example, a lawyer writing to its client. You can write politely without having to grovel oneself to another.
