Life's Sporadic Course
Being Influential (according to Dale Carnegie)
In Handling People:
#1 Don't criticize, condemn, or complain.
#2 Give honest and sincere appreciation.
#3 Arouse in the other person an eager want.
Six Ways to Make people like you:
#1 Become genuinely interested in other people.
#2 Smile.
#3 Remember that a person's name is to that person the
sweetest and most important sound in any language.
#4 Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about
themselves.
#5 Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
#6 Make the other person feel important-and do it
sincerely.
Winning People To Your Way Of Thinking:
#1 The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid
it.
#2 Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never
say, "You're wrong."
#3 If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
#4 Begin in a friendly way.
#5 Get the other person saying "yes, yes" immediately.
#6 Let the other person do a great deal of talking.
#7 Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.
#8 Try honestly to see things from the other person's
point of view.
#9 Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and
desires.
#10 Appeal to the nobler motives.
#11 Dramatize your ideas.
#12 Throw down a challenge.
To Be a Leader:
#1 Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
#2 Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly.
#3 Talk about your own mistaks before criticizing the
other person.
#4 Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
#5 Let the other person save face.
#6 Praise the slightest improvement and praise every
improvement. Be "hearty in your approbation and lavish in
your praise."
#7 Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.
#8 Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.
#9 Make the other person happy about doing the thing you
suggest.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...
MY BEST BUDDY JOSH SAYS: "DON'T RUB PEOPLE'S LEGS IF YOU
WANT TO BE FRIENDS, ESPECIALLY IF THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO."
These thoughts I share with you.
