Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Naturalness is the easiest thing in the world to acquire, if you will forget yourself-forget about the impression you are trying to make.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Nothing else so inspires and heartens people as words of appreciation. You and I may soon forger the words of encouragement and appreciation that we utter now, but the person to whom we have spoken them may treasure them and repeat them to themselves over a lifetime
Dale Carnegie
Image
If you can be sure of being right only 55 percent of the time, you can go down to Wall Street and make a million dollars a day. If you can't be sure of being right even 55 percent of the time, why should you tell other people they are wrong?
Dale Carnegie
Image
When dealing with people, let us remember that we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity. ...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
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
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
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.
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
If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Get the facts. Let's not even attempt to solve our problems without first collecting all the facts in an impartial manner.
Dale Carnegie
Image
People are not interested in you. They are not interested in me. They are interested in themselves - morning, noon and after dinner.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Begin with praise and honest appreciation. Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders. Make the fault easy to correct. Make the other person happy about doing what you suggest.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Let's never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let's do as General Eisenhower does: let's never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like.
Dale Carnegie
Image
If you tell me how you get your feeling of importance, I'll tell you what you are.

What is the answer to this fatigue? Relax! Relax! Relax! Learn to relax while you are doing your work!
Dale Carnegie
Image
I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate, and glorify the obvious - because the obvious is what people need to be told.
Dale Carnegie
Image
There is only one way under high heaven to get anybody to do anything. Did you ever stop to think of that? Yes, just one way. And that is by making the other person want to do it.

Become genuinely interested in other people.

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.
