10 Lessons From How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.
1. Read and Apply What You Learned
“Only knowledge that is used sticks in your mind.”
Read widely. Apply obsessively.
2. Be A Good Listener
Good conversationalists start by being good listeners. Learning to listen well is key to human relationships.
If you show genuine interest in them, you will be showing that you also think those things are important.
3. Focus on Your Similarities When In Disagreement
If you are having a disagreement with someone, you start on common ground and ease your way into the difficult subject and not the other way around.
4. Be Quick To Acknowledge Your Own Mistakes
Nothing will make people less defensive and more agreeable than you being humble and reasonable enough to admit your own mistakes.
5. Remember Their Name
Remembering people’s names when you meet them is difficult.
You casually meet a lot of people so it’s challenging but if you can train yourself to remember people’s names
It makes them feel special and important.
6. Be Generous With Praise
You won't find any person, however great or exalted in their station who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than they would ever do under a spirit of criticism. Praise people for the little they do, and they will do more.
7. Make People Feel Important
If you make people feel important, how you walk through the world will be an exponentially more pleasant and incredible experience.
8. Always wear a smile.
“If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love.”
9. Be understanding and forgiving
“Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn—and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.”
10. Life is All About Give and Take
“By fighting you never get enough, but by yielding you get more than you expected.” Make some concessions. Give some. Win some.
