Way to win friends ^.^

Let me introduce the book i read in these day. The book is called "How To Win Friends & Influence People" written by Dale Carnegie. This book also has a burmese translation namely "mate ta bala" translated by "U Nu". It's an interesting book for me and teach me alot of things in communication skill as i m a silent, shy, straightforward, easy to angry and also don't know how to keep the friendship within the people. So bad, isn't it?

pls take a look at the pic i post. 1st is burmese translation and 2nd is the english.

Let's get to the topic. There is only way under heaven to get anybody to do anything. Did u ever stop to think of that? Yes, it 's only 1 way. And tht is by make the other people want to do it. Difficult right? For example, Tml, you may want to persuade something. Before that, think and ask yourself "How can i make this person want to do it?" That question will stop us from rushing into a situation heedlessly, with futile chatter about our desire.Professor John Dewey, one of America's most profound philosophers, phrased it a bit differently. He said that the deepest urge in human nature is "the desire to be important". What do u want? Not many things but the few things that you do wish, Some of the things are mostly include:

1.HEALTH
2.FOOD
3.SLEEP
4.MONEY and THE THINGS MONEY WILL BUY
5.LIFE IN THE HEREAFTER
6.SEXUAL GRATIFICATION
7.THERE WELL-BEING OF OUR CHILDREN
8. A FEELING OF IMPORTANT.

Now, You know what the people want. Know how to deal people and gain friend aldy?

Almost all these wants are usually gratified-all except one. But there is one loging-almost as deep, almost as imperious, as the desire for food or sleep- which is seldom gratified.

Lincolon once began a letter saying "EVERYBODY likes a compliment"
Willian James said "The deepest Principle in human nature is the carving to be appreciated"

We nourish the bodies of our children, friends and employees, but how seldom do we nourish their self-esteem.We should to nourish with the compliment and appreciation.

This is the thing that i read. juz share share with u all. Wish you can learn somethings from this. I am also continue learning from that book..

Wish you all win win alot of friends and happy forever.
