I have been listening to this audiobook by Dale Carnegie. I have learned a lot, and I already use some of these friendly gestures of advice in my own ways of handling people and seeing their point of view. If you have already read this book, it is a classic and never hurts to refresh some people skills.
Six Rules to make friends:
1. Be genuinely interested in what the other person is saying, just like how your dog is interested in you. Fake people stand out , and are no fun to talk to.
2. Smile. Changes the atmosphere in a room.
3. Use and remember the other person's name. Their name is the most important thing about who they are and separates them from everyone else.
4. Listen. It is about the other person's interest and stories, even if you do not get to say your part of the story.
5. Talk in terms of the other person's interests. Once you figure out what the OTHER person wants, you can work together to get what you want.
6. Do unto others as other do to you. Everyone wants to be appreciated. Scratch your back, you scratch mine.
