BOOK MARK

"How to Win Friends & Influence People"

Authors: Dale Carnegie                 
Price
: 8.5$

More than just getting along well with people

I think the title of this book may be misleading in that just about everyone can get along with people, and win friends. The part of the title that most people have the ability to influence others especially in a way that makes them happy and willing to do what you ask.
As a supervisor for a department of 50 people, I found it was easy to get people to do what I asked them because I was the boss. After reading How To Win Friends and Influence People, I was able to get people to do what I asked not because I was there supervisor, because they wanted to.
In addition, I have always found that there are always some people (many times my supervisors) who completely lack people skills. Dale Carnegies book taught me how to work with those people as well.
I highly recommend How To Win Friends and Influence People to anyone who wants to significantly improve their people skills and especially their ability to positively influence people.

Great book!

Develop an interest in other people

Road to success: develop a genuine interest in other people. This book has been in print for 70 years for a reason - absolutely everyone should read it. I you ever wondered how to make yourself more 'interesting', friendly, or turn yourself into a leader, I think you may be genuinely surprised by the contents of this book. I know I was. It's not about you, it's about 'them' - you can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you. I read the book, I took notes, and now I'm going to read it again.

How to play to your Strengths

There is a common mistake many people make when they want to improve their people skills. You may even make the same mistake at times without noticing.

This mistake involves focusing so much on your apparent weaknesses that you neglect your strengths and dis-empower yourself even further. Self improvement then becomes a painful introspective experience that never improves your life.

How to know if you make this mistake...

Are you overly aware of your so called weaknesses while tending to ignore all of the things you do so well?

It is easy to take for granted what comes naturally to you. And, very easy, to discount the value of personal qualities that are second nature to you.

For example, let's say you are quiet, sensitive and thoughtful. These are very positive traits depending on the context.

You are likely to be a good listener, great at reading others and quick to spot changes in relationship dynamics.

The kicker.

Consequently, you may be the kind of person who can see the big picture while others are too involved in a discussion to notice what else is going on.

How to Play To Your Strengths

Your personal traits are not good or bad, not valuable or worthless and not simply strengths or weaknesses. It is not black and white. Instead it all depends on the situation and how you use your communication style.

Now, the common mistake people make is to feel bad about not being more outgoing. They put themselves under pressure to be something they are not and this only makes it even more difficult to speak up and be authentic.

Be yourself!

When you play to your strengths it feels natural. You are no longer trying to be someone you are not. And the result of this is that you relax, others then respond more favorably to what you say and how you say it.

Let's say you are softly spoken. Work with that trait and you will speak with authority and congruence without needing to raise your voice. You CAN command attention while speaking softly. It all depends on doing it with style - your style.

A powerful distinction.

Developing great people skills is a question of strategy - play to your strengths and be yourself. This is the key to making a great impression whenever you meet new people and
a sure fire way to form lasting friendships that enrich your life.

Then, with a solid foundation based on your true personality you can become even more charming by dropping the energy drains that hold you back.

How?

By letting go of fears that stop you from expressing yourself with confidence. Sooner than you expect, you will find yourself happier in yourself and more expressive.

And every time you expand your sense of who you are - you will notice something unusual happens. The more you like yourself the more others will like you - they reflect it back
to you. It sounds weird but it is true.

Ever had a day when you felt fantastic and could hardly stop smiling? Remember how other people were much more responsive to you that day? Imagine if that was everyday. It can be.

Amazing but true!

That's what happens when you drop the energy drains that hold you back. You unlock your true personality and the world responds instantly.

Making friends becomes much easier, people are happy to help you and... you become much more popular because everyone wants to be around someone like you who has the courage to be authentic.

"Physicists have discovered that the apparent solidity of matter is an illusion created by our senses. This includes the physical body, which we perceive and think of as form, but 99.99 % of which is actually empty space. This is how vast the space is between the atoms compared to their size, and there is as much space again within each atom. The physical body is no more than a misperception of who you are. In many ways, it is a microcosmic version of outer space.... So your physical body, which is form, reveals itself as essentially formless when you go deeper into it. It becomes a doorway into inner space. Although inner space has no form, it is intensely alive. That "empty space" is life in its fullness, the unmanifested Source out of which all manifestation flows. The traditional word for that Source is God." - Eckhart Tolle

Waiting

So sisters and brothers, with all the love that one can muster for you, it is love that must tell you the truth. And the truth is that if you don't build it for yourself, don't blame anybody else. My destiny is in my hands. God helps. God doesn't hinder. He doesn't push you back. He says, "I am waiting."

Story Time - The horse that wanted more beauty
A cosmic god had a horse. The horse was beautiful and also it had many good qualities. But it wanted to be more perfect in every way. It especially wanted to become beauty unparalleled.

One day the horse said to the cosmic god, “0 Lord, you have given me beauty. You have given me other good qualities. I am so grateful to you. But how I wish you could make me more beautiful. I would be extremely, extremely grateful if you could make me more beautiful.”

The cosmic god said, “I am more than ready to make you more beautiful. Tell me in what way you want to be changed.”

The horse said, “It seems to me that I am not well proportioned. My neck is too short. If you can make my neck a little longer, my upper body will be infinitely more beautiful.
And if you can make my legs much longer and thinner, then I will look infinitely more beautiful in my lower body.”

The cosmic god said, “Amen!” Then immediately he made a camel appear in place of the horse. The horse was so disheartened that it started to cry, “0 Lord, I wanted to become more beautiful. In what way is this kind of outer form more beautiful?”

The cosmic god said, “This is exactly what you asked for. You have become a camel.”

The horse cried, “Oh no, I do not want to become a camel; I wish to remain a horse. As a horse, everybody appreciated my good qualities. Nobody will appreciate me as a camel.”

The cosmic god said, “Never try to achieve or receive more than I have given you. If you want to lead a desire-life, then at every moment you will want more and more. But you have no idea what the outcome will be. If you cry for a longer neck and legs, this is what will happen. Each thing in my creation has its own good qualities. Stick to what you have been given".

Time to Smile
Life is Like that
 
The Definition of Fame

Three guys are talking about what constitutes fame. The first guy defines it as being invited to the White House for a chat with the president.

"Nah," says the second guy. "Real fame would be if the red phone rang when you were there, and the president wouldn't take the call."

"You're both wrong," says the third. "Fame is when you're in the Oval Office and the red phone rings, the president answers it, listens for a second, and then says, "'It's for you.'"
