Six ways to make people like you

Dale Carnegie was an American writer and lecturer who published the best-selling book How to Win Friends and Influence People. Here are ideas in a nutshell for improving your relationships with others:

1. Become genuinely interested in other people.
2. Smile.
3. Remember that a person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
4. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
5. Talk in terms of the other person’s interests.
6. Make the other person feel important — and do it sincerely.
