The ability to speak well is the shortcut to distinction.

If we think happy thoughts, we will be happy. If we think miserable thoughts, we will be miserable.
Dale Carnegie

Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes them strive to justify themselves. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts their sense of importance, and arouses resentment.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Mix judgement with ambition and season it with energy. It makes a splendid recipe for success.
Dale Carnegie
Image
The way to defeat fear: decide on a course of conduct and follow it. Keep so busy and work so hard that you forget about being afraid.
Dale Carnegie
Image
We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do. It's only when necessity faces us that we rise to the occasion and actually do the things that hitherto have seemed impossible.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it for you.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Take stock of your fears now and see how many of them are senseless. If you are honest with yourself you will probably find most of them are groundless.
