More quotes by Dale Carnegie
Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like to do and then, without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal.
Dale Carnegie
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
He who treads softly goes far.
Dale Carnegie
Don't Criticize, Condemn, Or Complain.
Dale Carnegie
How often we all have heard speakers begin by calling the attention of the audience to their lack of preparation or lack of ability. If you are not prepared, the audience will probably discover it without your assistance.
Dale Carnegie
It isn't work that makes you tired, it's your mental attitude.
Dale Carnegie
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
Look your audience straight in the eyes, and begin to talk as if every one of them owed you money.
Dale Carnegie
Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today.
Dale Carnegie
You must have a good time meeting people if you expect them to have a good time meeting you.
Dale Carnegie
When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion.
Dale Carnegie
If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic.
Dale Carnegie
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
When ill luck besets us, to ease the tension we have only to remember that happiness is relative. The next time you are tempted to grumble about what has happened to you, why not pause and be glad that it is no worse than it is.
Dale Carnegie
criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurt his sense of importace and arouse resentment.
Dale Carnegie
Close your eyes. You might try saying. . . something like this: The sun is shining overhead. The sky is blue and sparkling. Nature is calm and in control of the world-and I, as nature's child, am in tune with the Universe. Or-better still-pray!
Dale Carnegie
Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
Dale Carnegie
Arouse in the other person an eager want.
Dale Carnegie
You can sing only what you are. You can paint only what you are. You must be what your experiences, your environment, and your heredity have made you. For better or for worse, you must play your own little instrument in the orchestra of life.
Dale Carnegie
Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt.
