Everybody in the world is seeking happiness—and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn’t depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions.

Arouse in the other person an eager want. He who can do this has the whole world with him. He who cannot walks a lonely way.

Principle1: Don’t criticize, condemn, or complain.

Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says: "I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.” #howtowinfriendsandinfluencepeople

Principle 12: If you’re wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.

Principle 3: Arouse in the other person an eager want.

All men have fears, but the brave put down their fears and go forward, sometimes to death, but always to victory. #dalecarnegie

Bernard Shaw once remarked: ‘If you teach a man anything, he will never learn.'

Principle 4: Become genuinely interested in other people.

The resentment that criticism engenders can demoralize employees, family members and friends, and still not correct the situation that has been condemned.

Before it even began to dawn upon me that ninety-nine times out of a hundred, people don’t criticize themselves for anything, no matter how wrong it may be.

Principle 18: Be sympathetic with the other person’s ideas and desires.

When dealing with people, let us remember 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.

A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. #howtowinfriendsandinfluencepeople

Principle 1 Become genuinely interested in other people.

By fighting you never get enough, but by yielding you get more than you expected.

People who smile, he said, tend to manage, teach and sell more effectively, and to raise happier children. There’s far more information in a smile than a frown. That’s why encouragement is a much more effective teaching device than punishment.

Do you know someone you would like to change and regulate and improve? Good! That is fine. I am all in favour of it. But why not begin on yourself?

Went I went fishing, I didn’t think about what I wanted.. I didn’t bait the hook with strawberries and cream.. I dangled a worm in front of the fish.. Why not use the same common sense when fishing for people?

We are interested in others when they are interested in us.
