What lessons you learned from the reading?
The book of Dale Carnegie (how to wins friends and influence people) are very amazing and useful in a way of loving others. After reading his chapter 1(Ways to Make People like You) I came to know about that we should give time to others because it is very valuable not only for others but also for us when you listen to others they start like or love to you because you are giving attention to them. His book was very impressive because in his book he very nicely describes all noble or well-known personalities like, Josephin, Napoleon, Alfred Adler, the famous Viennese psychologist, Howard Thurston, George Dyke of North Warren, Pennsylvania, Uncle George, and German Kaiser.
The most impressive take way I take from Alfred Adler, the famous Viennese psychologist, wrote in book is entitled “What Life Should Mean to you.” In that book he says: “It is the individual who is not interested in his fellow men who has the greatest difficulties in life and provides the greatest injury to others. It is from among such individuals that all human failures spring.” I liked Uncle George, because he was seventy-two years old and enjoying every minute of his life. By having a sustained interest in other people, he created a new life for himself at a time when most people consider their productive years over. So I decided I must have spent my old life like him. Most loving quote I take is “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” this one is most influential thing. We should always be first in making friends. Because if we wait for their turn it may be take 2 or more years to having a good friends.
This all I learnt from this chapter and I take really very useful take away from this chapter and I definitely use these in my daily life.
What did you learn trying to apply those lessons in real life?
This challenge was interesting because after doing that I came to know “giving values to others give you more attention”. I texted my friends and family members to which I text a many years ago. This was really very interesting challenge because by doing this I actually get very funny and interesting answers by my friends. Some were surprised oh! Are you okay? Is everything fine? What happened to you? Why are you texting like this? Sounds crazy. But really I enjoyed a lot. I came to know about my friend’s routines and how’s their life going on and what their future plan and so on. I also spent time with my mother and father and know about their daily life routine and what they are doing whole the day. After reading the book of Dale Carnegie I came to know about the value of others surrounding us. And I applied this all concepts to my practical life. When I texted to my friends and family they were happy. They were happy because I gave them time and gossips with them after a long time. I learnt that giving attention to others and listening their thoughts are very interesting and the feelings are very pleasant to know about your love ones.
