Take a chance! All life is a chance
Dale Carnegie
Image
We talk a lot about the importance of physical exercise to wake us up out of the half sleep in which so many of us walk around. But we need, even more, some spiritual and mental exercises every morning to stir us into action. Give yourself a pep talk every day.
Dale Carnegie

I honestly believe that this is one of the greatest secrets to true peace of mind -- a decent sense of values. We could annihilate 50 percent of all our worries at once if we would develop a sort of private gold standard -- a gold standard of what things are worth to us in terms of our lives.
Dale Carnegie

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
Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
Dale Carnegie
Image
criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurt his sense of importace and arouse resentment.
Dale Carnegie
Image
An effective speaker knows that the success or failure of his talk is not for him to decide - it will be decided in the minds and hearts of his hearers.
Dale Carnegie
Image
When ill luck besets us, to ease the tension we have only to remember that happiness is relative. The next time you are tempted to grumble about what has happened to you, why not pause and be glad that it is no worse than it is.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If you want to be happy, set yourself a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes. Happiness is within you. It comes from doing some certain thing into which you can put all your thought and energy. If you want to be happy, get enthusiastic about something.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
