Some extracts from what I read and remembered in Dale Carnegie's How to win friends and influence people

1. Knowledge plus ability equals achevement in career

2. 15% of ur success comes from our professioanl knowledge and 85% comes from our personal and interpersonal skills

3. Adults care about two main things in their life: the first one is HEALTH, the second one is INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS

4. Carnegie wrote: 'Comparing who we ought to be we are only half awake'

An individual can be better

5. People's thoughts create actions
    People's actions create habits
    People's habits create behaviour
    People's behaviour create their personality

6. Another psychologist said 'We become what we practice'

7. Carnegie wrote: 'Any fool can critisize and condemn - and most fools do'. 'A great man appreciates and evaluates others. He sees the best characteristics of the person regardless if the person is good or not'

8. Insted of critisizing people lets try to understand them

9. People crave for attention

10. All people has a feeling of importance

11. Carnegie also said: 'If you tell me how you get your feeling of importance, I will tell you who you are'

12. A lack of appreciation, attention and approval drives people crazy

13. Say compliments

14. 'Every man I meet is my superior in some way. In that I learn of him'
