Your smile brightens the lives of all who see it.
Dale Carnegie
Image
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Stop worrying and start living.
Dale Carnegie

Do the very best you can.
Dale Carnegie
Image
A good deed, said the prophet Mohammed, is one that brings a smile of joy to the face of another. Why will doing a good deed every day produce such astounding efforts on the doer? Because trying to please others will cause us to stop thinking of ourselves: the very thing that produces worry and fear and melancholia.

Nothing else so inspires and heartens people as words of appreciation. You and I may soon forger the words of encouragement and appreciation that we utter now, but the person to whom we have spoken them may treasure them and repeat them to themselves over a lifetime
Dale Carnegie

Dale Carnegie
Image
Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today.
Dale Carnegie

People are not interested in you. They are not interested in me. They are interested in themselves - morning, noon and after dinner.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If you disagree with them you may be tempted to interrupt. But don't. It is dangerous. They won't pay attention to you while they still have a lot of ideas of their own crying for expression. So listen patiently and with an open mind.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Become genuinely interested in other people.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest steppingstones to success. No other element can do so much for a man if he is willing to study them and make capital out of them. Look backward. Can't you see where your failures have helped you?
Dale Carnegie
Image
One of the surest ways of making a friend and influencing the opinion of another is to give consideration to [his or her] opinion, let [him or her] sustain a feeling of importance.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
Dale Carnegie
Image
The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book.
Dale Carnegie
Image
90% of all management problems are caused by miscommunication.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
