There are many lessons in the Book “How to Win Friends and Influence People”

But the lessons I learned were:

*People like other people who admire them

*We can make more friends by showing them that we are interested in them

*Through this strategy a very extensive and large network of friends can be build

*People might also care about us

People pay attention to those who admire them and are interested in them. It’s a human nature that we don’t want to talk to whom which are not interested in us. People usually don’t want to even think about them. Showing your Interest in people will also help in convincing them, get their Attention, making friend circle wider and in this way, they might also care about us.

When I talk to people showing that I am interested in them (in real life)

I found out that the most of them response to my texts/chat more quickly. Some of them don’t hesitate to spend their time with me i.e. on texts, face to face and by call. When I asked them about any help or anything they want to share, most of them discuss their ongoing work projects. I was really happy to discuss their issues and to give them suggestions. It really helped me in developing my good perception in their mind

Finally, found that these are the people who love and care about me and I decided to stay touch with them from now on.
