Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do. But it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.
Dale Carnegie

Dale Carnegie
Image
If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying.
Dale Carnegie

criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurt his sense of importace and arouse resentment.
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
Don't criticize, condemn or complain. Constantly criticizing, condemning and complaining is what breaks most relationships. Instead of criticizing and condemning, figure out how you can solve the problem together. Instead of focusing on blaming the other person for what they did wrong, focus on how you can avoid the problem next time.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Become genuinely interested in other people.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Remember that other people may be totally wrong. But they don't think so. Don't condemn them. Any fool can do that. Try to understand them. Only wise, tolerant, exceptional people even try to do that.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If you do something for someone else, never remember. If someone does something for you, never forget.
