"Six Ways to Make People Like You"
By: Dale Carnegie
1.Become genuinely interested in other people
"Do this and you will be welcome anywhere"
"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"
"Ask questions to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering"
Reflection:Rule #1 by Carnegie is stating that you must have the ability of wanting to meet new people and finding out more about that certain person.For example you might want to learn some of there characteristics.In the first quote he is telling us that if you show interest in meeting new people they will welcome you into any place.They will welcome you to hanging out more with them.The second quote he is telling us that you will make more friends when you are more interested in people rather than you trying to get people to interest you.Finally he is telling us ask things that you will know will be interesting enough for them to answer these questions.
Rule 2: Smile
1)”Actions
speak louder than words, and a smile says, “I like you. You make me happy .I am
glad to see you “
2) “You don’t
feel like smiling? Then force yourself to smile”
3) “It
creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the
countersign (witness or indication) of friends.”
Reflection: Smiling may sound like something very easy to do but at times it can be a very difficult task for some people to do. Some people may have an issue doing this because they are having a difficulty with their personal life.The first quote is telling us that actions are better than just talking about it but, making it up with a smile makes it a lot better.The second quote is telling us that through anything that you have been put through always try to keep your smile so you can be seen as a positive person.The final quote can be very interesting,it is telling us that in the house it is bringing us happiness and it is also bringing happiness and pride in the friendship for everybody who works here at this place.
Rule 3: Remember Names
1." A man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language"
2. "If you don't remember names,you are headed for trouble"
Reflection: Remembreing names sounds like a very easy task to do.It can turn out to be a challenge for other people.Remembering names can be easier if you can remeber there face and remember something about them.This is a very important task to do if you would want people to like you.Of course any friend would love if another human being can memorize something very simple.The 1st quote given to us by Dale Carnegie is telling us that a man would be very happy and pleased to say that somebody important to them knows there name.In the last quote he is telling us pretty much that if you dont remeber somebodys name than you are not going to be liked as a friend .
How to remeber names
1.spell out his or her name on a paper
2. repeat there name to yourself quietly
3.figure something out that they have similar to you
4.Be a good listener.Encourage others to talk about themselves.
"If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener".
"Remeber that the man you are talking to is a hundread times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems".
Reflection:Dale Carnegie gives us two very thruthful quotes on here.In the first quote he is talking to us about how you can make a good conversation with other people.He says other than talking about a good conversation that it is also important to listen to what other people say.In the second quote he is telling us that people tend to look for new people in order to talk them about their own personal issues.He is telling us rather than us telling them what is wrong about them.
5.Talk in terms of the other man's interest.
"The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most".
6.Make the other person feel important- and do it sincerely.
"The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature"(John Dewey)
"Hoping people feel important and appreciated works magic"
