A week Before I read a book and I was totally Blank face during reading the Book named ‘’Do This And You’ll Be Welcome Anywhere’’. which is written by Dale Carnegie. This Book base on the principle that showing interest in others earn more friends than being interesting for others. And The Author believes that you can make more friends in two months by geniunely becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you. I was stuned that how just simply giving importance to other people results in achieving good friends and how we receive the heartier suggestions from others to fix our issues. In this book there are many examples which filled me with amazement. Like; how the salesperson Edward get a business and retain the loyal customer. How they urge the Authors to come and help them. And very influensive one that how a little boy wins the heart of German Kaiser. I learned a lot.

And i learned in a much better way by practicing this principle in my life. I achieved interest of many people, I share sorrows of many people, and I received many well wishes for listening and sharing their sorrows. And I also got admiration of many people. And it also give me chance to talk with my aunt who was wishing for it since last 1 and a quarter year. So, all was great. And most importantly here I want to share my Experience of practicing this principle, A story about my friend whose friend was killed in a revenge. He was very close to him, close in a way that his friend gave his breathe in his lap. And after his death he become quite. He didn’t speak even with his parents. But two day before I met him and use the principle of being interested. I asked him about his health. How he miss hi friend. By doing so he led into tears. He told me the whole story of his friend death that how he was killed in front of him. And he was unable to do anything. He also told me that how they spend their days of friendship by spending day and night in each other’s home. They have family relationship. They didn’t spend even a single day away from each other since their friendship day. After just 2 hours of separation they start texting to each other for meeting. He told me that how they wonder in streets and walk through cafe’s while eating. How they spend their night by texting and calling. One interesting thing he told me that his friend on the first night of his wedding was with him till 3 AM. :P In short this principle is awesome. I learned a lot by practicing it. And I will follow it in the roughs and toughs of my life.
