person at least one time, this situation will be uncomfortable for the person who is called by his or her colour of dress. Because a person’s own name is the most beatiful word he or she can hear from someone, this way of calling is rudeness, Dale Carnegie mentions about this situation in his book (How To Win Friends And Influence People). Every person can observe easily that when you encounter someone at second time, if you are able to remember the name of the person who encounter, you are…

An Adventure with Integrity “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all” (Dale Carnegie). When I hear this quote, I instantly think of one person, my boyfriend’s little brother, Jarrod. He always powers through troublesome times no matter what tasks he has to climb over. Jarrod has inspired me from the first day I met him for many promising reasons. Even though, he is only thirteen years old, he is…

The feeling of soft, plush carpet. A burning hot sidewalk. Prickly pins and needles from sitting in one position too long. A warm, summer breeze blowing across the legs while sitting on the deck with a tall, cool drink. These are feelings that are taken for granted by almost every person in the world. The feet. No other part of the body creates a foundation for the whole body and contains senses that allow us to move in a manner that is secure, comfortable, and effective. Yet, in a few, short…

Question 1 According to Dale Carnegie’s concept of leadership, a leader is a team player who helps to inspire a team towards set goals. I was able to witness a practical application of this leadership approach when I last volunteered for community service at a homeless shelter. I barely recognized the administrator because he almost behaved like the rest of us. He would always take part in the community outreach and other activities like any other team member ready to undertake whatever duty he…

throughout our career. “The goal of human relations is the maximum well-being of all people involved” (Manning and Curtis, 2015, p.221). A colleague recently referred to Dale Carnegie’s book, How to Win Friends and Influence People as one of the best books she had ever read. Manning and Curtis share the five principles Carnegie created, “Help people feel important, avoid arguments, don’t be a complainer, show interest in others, and remember people’s names” (2015, p. 222). Of these, I have…

Dale Carnegie once said that “most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” In other words, those who continue to persist despite difficulty for what is right will achieve the most satisfaction and gain the greatest reward in life. This is apparent through watching Ingrid Visser fight for killer whales and by observing certain characters in The Crucible by Arthur Miller. In both examples, it is…

"There ain't no flies on us. There ain't no flies on us. There might be flies on some of you guys, but there ain’t no flies on us." This is an old scout game, where there are two teams. One of the teams recite this with minimal volume and the other team recites the same chant, but in a volume that is slightly higher the previous recital. This slow crescendo pattern continues until both teams are on the top of their lungs yelling! This is just a fun game, but if you swap the word "flies" with…

need to know the definition of failure. Failure means the fault or weakness of something. When someone fails, it may affect a person in a negative way, or it may help them grow as a person. The most valuable lessons can come from failures. Like Dale Carnegie said, “Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.” When we succeed at something, we feel a sense of accomplishment because we know we have done something correct. You may see someone rich or famous and think…

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie is one book I am interested in. My plan for practicing approachability and emotional intelligence involves meeting people in public places.
