How to Win Friends and Influence People 


Dale Carnegie

Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in other people. 
1) Do this and you will be welcome everywhere 
2) "You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."
3) "Ask questions to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering."  


When you're genuinely become interested in other peoples lives other than yourself you start to masking new friends. Showing others that you can listening to them is another way of making new friends. This is rare but what some people did in a show i watched called " The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody", this girl named London Tipton would bribe them a stack of $ 100 dollar bills to become her friend and was one way she interested people into becoming her friend. Although i wouldn't recommend making friends that way.  When you become interested in others life stories they start to appreciate your presence and start respecting you and then maybe they'll start looking up to you. That can also be a way to influence them to do the same you do to them to others. Allan Lokos once said, " The more we genuinely care about others the greater our own happiness and inner peace is". I love this quote, because once people start to care about others we can boost our own happiness and self esteem because that would be a way we all want to be treated. I'm pretty sure that everyone wants to be treated with respect and curiosity. One way i can apply this to my life is by treating people with the same respect i would want to be treated with.  One way i can also help others genuinely care about others is by influencing them with how i live my life genuinely caring and showing the respect i would want to others.


Rule 2: Smile



1) "Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, "I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you."
2) "You don't feel like smiling? Then force yourself to smile."



3) "It creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in a business, and is the countersign (witness or indication) of friends."


Rule 3: Remember Names 


1) "A man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
2) "If you don't remember names, you are headed for trouble."




Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.



1) " If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener." 
2) "Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems. 


Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man's interest.



"The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most."
What this means is that when you talk to someone you should talk to them about what they want to achieve in life. Such as what their plans are for their future, what their goals are in life, what or who they care about the most, and who knows you'll probably find some things in common. Once you figure out or they tell you what they care the most about you should feel sensitive to their response because sometimes it's not easy for a man to tell you their deepest secrets such as what or who they care about the most. Trying to make a connection with someone at first may seem a bit difficult cause they're not responding or because it just gets awkward. It gets easier the more you try to talk to someone though. This makes men sometimes vulnerable because they just told you something that's very important to them and like i said some find it hard to talk about themselves or their families. I guess in a way it makes them soft because they dont have to act all that anymore since you got to know them personally. 

6. Make The other Person Feel Important - And Do It Sincerely 

" The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature"- ( John Dewey) Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic." 


What this means is that helping people is a good thing and not only does it help them but it helps you too. I agree with the quote, because i do desire to feel important or want to be important to others other than my family of course. I'm also pretty sure that I'm not the only one that wants to feel important to everybody. I want to impact people's lives and show them that they can be anything or do anything as long as they are willing to put in the work. John Dewey is in the right path and speaks the truth and that is why we are using his quote and being taught by it. I also know that he is important because if he wasn't Mr. Haymore wouldn't be telling us to write a paragraph of the meaning of the quote.  

Final Reflection

My deepest thoughts about the "Six Way To Make People Like You" are that they can be very helpful but i doubt that any people will actually use them to help improve their social skills.  I think personally that the " Six Ways To Make People Like You" will be useful towards me because it can help me make new friends and I'm be able to communicate better with people, once i learn not to shut people out of my life.
