Hurt, Pride, Criticism

Dale Carnegie (0101). “Best of Dale Carnegie Vol-I”, p.13, Prabhat Prakashan

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.

Hurt, Thinking, People

Dale Carnegie (2016). “How to stop worrying & start living”, p.115, Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd

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.
