Do you know the most important trait a man can have? It is not executive ability; it is not a great mentality; it is not kindliness, nor courage, nor a sense of humor, though each of these is of tremendous importance.

Do you know the most important trait a man can have? It is not executive ability; it is not a great mentality; it is not kindliness, nor courage, nor a sense of humor, though each of these is of tremendous importance.

Let's never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let's do as General Eisenhower does: let's never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like.

Enthusiasm is the dynamics of your personality. Without it, whatever abilities you may possess lie dormant; and it is safe to say that nearly every man has more latent power than he ever learns to use. You may have knowledge, sound judgment, good reasoning faculties; but no one-not even yourself-will know it until you discover how to put your heart into thought and action.

Inspirational, Attitude, Lying

90% of all management problems are caused by miscommunication.

Management, Problem, Miscommunication

Why prove to a man he is wrong? Is that going to make him like you? Why not let him save face? He didn't ask for your opinion. He didn't want it. Why argue with him? You can't win an argument, because if you lose, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it. Why? You will feel fine. But what about him? You have made him feel inferior, you hurt his pride, insult his intelligence, his judgment, and his self-respect, and he'll resent your triumph. That will make him strike back, but it will never make him want to change his mind. A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.

Change, Hurt, Pride

Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.

I realize now that people are not thinking about you and me or caring what is said about us.

They would be a thousand times more concerned about a slight headache of their own than they would about the news of your death or mine.

Inspirational, Thinking About You, Caring

Dale Carnegie (2016). “How to stop worrying & start living”, p.175, Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd

Flower, Sunshine, Wind

Dale Carnegie (1982). “How To Win Friends And Influence People”, p.227, Simon and Schuster

Once you have made a careful decision based on facts, go into action. Don't stop to reconsider. Don't begin to hesitate, worry, and retrace your steps. Don't lose yourself in self-doubting which begets other doubts. Don't keep looking back over your shoulder.

Self, Worry, Decision

Dale Carnegie (2016). “The Essential Dale Carnegie: Curated Wisdom from 3 Bestselling Books”, p.204, Hachette UK
