Carnegie told people the following rules of life in "Human Weaknesses": 1. Show sincere concern for others; 2. Smile; 3. Remember other people's names. A person's name is the sweetest and most important sound in any language to him; 4. Be a good listener and encourage others to talk about themselves; 5. Talk about things that others are interested in and make them feel important - in a sincere way. As a spiritual mentor of mankind, Carnegie had a profound insight that the reason why so many people in the world are unsuccessful is because of their inner worries, low self-esteem and interpersonal communication barriers. He put forward the conclusion that "if you believe you can succeed, you can succeed."
Reader comments
This book is like a caring friend, telling us how to get along with others. Carnegie's ideas are very practical, such as caring for others, smiling, listening, etc. I particularly like what he said, "If you believe you can succeed, you will succeed." This sentence gave me a lot of encouragement. The examples in the book are also very interesting. The story of Crowley is very interesting and allows me to see the complexity of human nature. I will recommend this book to other friends!
It is easy to understand and I have learned a lot of principles, but more practice is needed to truly master these useful methods.
