How to win friends & influence people


Why this book was written?
This book was written because, the author had looked for a book like this but he had never found one so he decide to write about people and friends. This book is full of stories that are interesting and fun to read.


Part One

Fundamental techniques in Handling People

One day a guy who was famous for "Two Gun", was with his girl friend that a police came and asked for his license. The Two Gun shoot him, when people found out about it and asked why he killed the police, he said " This is what I got for defending myself." He never said it was his falt for killing the police.

People don't criticize themselves for anything, no matter how wrong it may be.


George Johnston used to work at a engineering company, he had to be sure all the workers use their hard hat during working. He had seen them not using it and he used to tell them mean to put the hat on, they did but as soon as he left again they taked it out. He asked them why they dont use their hat? they told him its not comfortable when he solved the problem they used the hats.


There was a king long time ago that he never cared about people and used to say, " I don't see how I could have done any differently from what I have."


"People thik they are right about anything but not others, but we have to know that they will return back home at the end."

- This is one of my friends problem that she think no one care about her. She want to make fight and tell us she is always right in anythig....


Abraham Lincoln used to write poems and letters. He used to put them infront of people so they can see it. Once one of his pome posted in a magazine, a guy named James Shields found out about it. He dicided to fight with Lincoln. Lincoln was ready for the fight but he though its wrong to fight and it would look bad, he said he will never write poems and letters.


He said this, "Judge not, that ye be not judged."


There was a fight between Lee and Lincoln. When Lee was about to escape, Lincoln told his General to take him and bring Lee to him. But General didnt do that and Lee escape. when Lincoln found out he wrote a letter to General that was saying: he did the wrong thing by letting Lee escape and he had lost a big opportunity. After he wrote the letter he looked at the window he though if it was him probably he would do the same thing. He never sent the letter, after his death they found the letter in his stof.


-This is a nice qute I found in this book:

"Don't complain about the snow on your neighbor's roof, when your own doorstep is unclean."


There is a story call "Fother Forgets", that Livingston Larned (author), talk about how he had forgoten about his son:

He is talking about how he tell his son to do this, do that, this is wrong, thats right, and other things. A night he go up to his son vail he is sleeping and look at his think what he want fron a kid. He tell himself that he will never get mad at his son and try to be more nicer.


He say this by himself:

"It was not that I did not live you; it was that I expected too much of you."


The last thing is: "To know all is to forgive all."
