Dale Carnegie quotes about
Become genuinely interested in other people.
Most people don't remember names, for the simple reason that they don't take the time and energy necessary to concentrate and repeat and fix names indelibly in their minds. They make excuses for themselves; they are too busy.
In talking with people, don't begin by discussing the things on which you differ. Begin by emphasizing - and keep on emphasizing - the things on which you agree. Keep emphasizing, if possible, that you are both striving for the same end and that your only difference is one of method and not of purpose.
Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
If we think happy thoughts, we will be happy. If we think miserable thoughts, we will be miserable.
Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed.
Knowledge isn’t power until it is applied.
People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.
Life truly is a boomerang. What you give, you get.
Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities.
If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
In time, we lose our freshness and spontaneity of true conversation. These are areas in which everyone interested in self-improvement will seek to improve.
Do the very best you can.
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
