Yesterday, we were talking about how to connect more with people.
Here are some more tips from the cult classic How to Win Friends and
Influence People by Dale Carnegie. (Vermillion, £7.99)

1.    Don’t criticize, condemn or complain.
2.    Give honest and sincere appreciation.
3.    Be genuinely interested in other people.
4.    Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
5.    Make the other person feel important – and do it sincerely.
6.    Show respect for the other person’s opinions. Never say, “You’re
wrong.”
7.    If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
8.    Begin in a friendly way – with a smile
9.    Let the other person do a great deal of the talking.
10.    Try honestly to see things from the other person’s point of
view.

Have a lovely day!
