“How to win friends and influence people” (by Dale Carnegie)

Most effected few words from this book that is reality or may say trick, these are: “You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you”

Simply it’s a concept of “be interested, not just interesting”. As you show interest in any person, He/She really feel that you care for him/her. No need to think like that we should show our skills, abilities and attitude so that other got impressed and become crazy for you. If we want to win anyone’s hearts whether he is a friend/interviewer or any person just show that you are interested in each and everything related to him rather than start showing off yourself or telling your own stories. When someone really feels and cares for others, it automatically grabs interest of others.

One of a great magician “Mr. Thurston”, His success story also based on the love or genuine interest that he had for his audience and not only on his qualification, skills and abilities.

Basically a Moral is that we should greet people in a tone in which they want rather than the way we like. If an employee has bad mood and working as a customer service officer in an organization, one time his inefficient dealing with customer not only affects his own repute but also of a whole organization.

“Be interested, not just interesting” a short way to get indulge in people easily.
