Dale Carnegie
Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do. But it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving. When I asked him -Mr.Henry Ford- if he ever worried, he replied: "No. I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe that every-thing will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about? The words "Think and Thank" are inscribed in many of the Cromwellian churches of England. These words ought to be inscribed in our hearts, too: "Think and Thank". Think of all we have to be grateful for, and thank God for all our boons and bounties. The world is so full of people who are grabbing and self-seeking. So the rare individual who unselfishly tries to serve others has an enormous advantage. He has little competition. When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness. If you are not in the process of becoming the person you want to be, you are automatically engaged in becoming the person you don't want to be. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime. Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have. Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire. Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success. Praise is like sunlight to the warm human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are somehow reluctant to give our fellow the warm sunshine of praise. Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, 'I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.' That is why dogs make such a hit. They are so glad to see us that they almost jump out of their skins. So, naturally, we are glad to see them. People like people who help them like themselves. Your smile brightens the lives of all who see it. To someone who has seen a dozen people frown, scowl or turn their faces away, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds. Make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely. The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way. Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct. One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves. If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts: what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it. Let us praise even the slightest improvement. That inspires the other person to keep on improving. Take a chance! All life is a chance. It isn't work that makes you tired, it's your mental attitude. |
