The Interested Challenge

I recently read the first chapter of book titled “How to win friends and influence people” by Dale Carnegie and I found out that you have to care people more than yourself. People like to be loved or liked. If you are a person who talks more about yourself then people might not have interest in you. If you are interested in them or you talk more about others ultimately people will follow you and like you. Mr. Carnegie explains this concept by giving couple of examples. He says that Dog is the only animal who doesn’t have to do work for living unlike other animals but the dog only makes his living by giving love and loyalty. He writes a study, based on 500 phone calls, that which word is frequently spoken and the result was “I”. “I” was spoken 3900 times in 500 calls. Mr. Carnegie says that once he had to meet Howard Thurston, who by the way was a Dean of Musicians. He says the I asked him about his success. Mr. Thurston replied a long answer in short the success was in his attitude or nature. He cared about people. He didn’t consider his audience bunch of hicks ultimately people loved him and He was successful.
I would like to add one more example of Abdul Sattar Edhi. Edhi Sb. didn’t lived himself whole life. He lived for others. He helped every person who was in trouble. Today whole world remembers His name. The reason is one that he cared about people or humanity.

I talked to a friend who is an Electrical Engineer in a private firm in Lahore. He told me when he first time came to Lahore for a job, he don’t have any idea about Lahore. He didn’t know how to dress. He had only 1000 rupees on that time. He had couple of interviews but couldn’t got the job. He was so depressed at that time and decided to go back to his village. He said that during my journey to home, I met a person in the bus and we got into talking and I tell him my story. He said that He was wearing Shalwar Kameez and a rough shoes at that time. The person gave him an advice that you need to look like an engineer if you want a job, with this type of getup you won’t be able to get a job. He said that I wasn’t thinking about this at all. He decided to come back to Lahore with some preparation and handsome look and he got the job. So the verdict of this short story is very simple, if we want to get a job we need be prepared and well dressed.
