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.

Remember that unjust critisism is often a disquised compliment.
Dale Carnegie
Image
One can win the attention and time and cooperation of even the most sought-after people by becoming genuinely interested in them.

It isn't work that makes you tired, it's your mental attitude.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Make a man laugh a good hearty laugh, and you've paved the way for friendship. When a man laughs with you, he, to some extent, likes you.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their wants and problems than they are in you and your problems.
Dale Carnegie
Image
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

Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
