Dale Carnegie quotes about
If you want to win friends, make it a point to remember them. If you remember my name, you pay me a subtle compliment; you indicate that I have made an impression on you. Remember my name and you add to my feeling of importance.
There is a certain degree of satisfaction in having the courage to admit one's errors.
Try honest to see things from the other person's point of view.
Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.
All the king's horses and all the king's men can't put the past together again. So let's remember: Don't try to saw sawdust.
Talk to anyone about himself positively and he'll listen without interruption.
There is no such thing as constructive criticism.
Flattery is from the teeth out. Sincere appreciation is from the heart out.
Practice, practice, practice in speaking before an audience will tend to remove all fear of audiences, just as practice in swimming will lead to confidence and facility in the water. You must learn to speak by speaking.
There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave.
The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.
No matter what happens, always be yourself.
Thousands of salespeople are pounding the pavements today, tired, discouraged and underpaid. Why? Because they are always thinking only of what they want. They don't realize that neither you nor I want to buy anything. If we did, we would go out and buy it. But both of us are eternally interested in solving our problems. And if salespeople can show us how their services or merchandise will help us solve our problems, they won't need to sell us. We'll buy. And customers like to feel that they are buying - not being sold.
Your smile brightens the lives of all who see it.
