The other day I came across an on line summary of Dale Carnegie's famous book How to Win Friends and Influence People. First published in 1936, the advice is as valid today as it was 70 years ago...
Dale Carnegie's Six Ways to Make People Like You
- Become genuinely interested in other people.
- Smile.
- Remember that a person's name is, to that person, the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
- Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
- Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
- Make the other person feel important -- and do it sincerely.
Advice for the ages -- if you follow it, you'll grow and prosper.
That’s it for today, thanks for reading. Log on to my website, www.BudBilanich.com for more common sense advice.
I’ll see you around the web, and at Alex’s Lemonade Stand.
