Image
There is a certain degree of satisfaction in having the courage to admit one's errors. It not only clears up the air of guilt and defensiveness, but often helps solve the problem created by the error
Dale Carnegie
Image
'When you have a lemon, make a lemonade.' That is what a great educator does. But the fool does the exact opposite. If he finds that life has handed him a lemon, he gives up and says, 'I 'm beaten. It is fate. I haven't got a chance.' Then he proceeds to rail against the world and indulge in an orgy of self-pity .
Dale Carnegie
Image
This is the only chance you will ever have on earth with this exciting adventure called life. So why not plan it, and try to live it as richly, as happily as possible?
Dale Carnegie

You are something new in this world. Never before, since the beginning of time, has there ever been anybody exactly like you and never again throughout all the ages to come will there ever be anybody exactly like you again.

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
Image
The resentment that criticism engenders can demoralize employees, family members and friends, and still not correct the situation that has been condemned.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Looking at the other person's point of view and arousing in him an eager want for something is not to be construed as manipulating that person so that he will do something that is only for your benefit and his detriment. Each party should gain from the negotiation.
Dale Carnegie
Image
It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
Dale Carnegie
Image
History has repeatedly been changed by people who had the desire and the ability to transfer their convictions and emotions to their listeners.
Dale Carnegie
Image

Everyday is a new life to a wise man.
Dale Carnegie

Success in dealing with people depends on sympathetic grasp of the other person's viewpoint.
Dale Carnegie

Don't you have much more faith in ideas that you discover for yourself than in ideas that are handed to you on a silver platter?
