Dale Carnegie
Image
Only the prepared speaker deserves to be confident.
Dale Carnegie
Image
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
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
Encouragement makes a fault easy to correct, and a challenge easy to take on.
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
Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.
