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.
