How to win friends and influence people (title of book)
Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours
Feeling sorry for yourself, and you present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have.
Really important goals are accomplished by people who will keep trying even when there seems to be no hope.
I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate and glorify the obvious / because the obvious is what people need to be told.
Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed possible.
You can make more friends in two months by becoming more interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you
You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you.
When fate hands us a lemon, let's try to make a lemonade
