Analysis Of Dale Carnegie 's Book ' How On Win Friends And Influence People '

The first main point of this chapter is to teach us how to respect others after their points are made. It is a very important part of a discussion to restate what someone else has said before you give your ideas. Linking the two together

In “What are friends for?” by Marion Winik, She explains the type of friends that you may encounter throughout your lifetime. Winik explains the benefits of each friend and the impact that they have on your life. There are eight types of friends which are your Buddies, Relative friends, Work friends, Faraway friends, Former friends, Friends you love to hate, Hero friends, and New friend. They all play a role in your life. They make your life exciting. They are the reason why you don’t go totally insane. Friends are there to help you out.

The theme of friendship courses through Chaim Potok’s book, The Chosen. Potok desires to show the reader what a strong friendship looks like and how it stands up to the test of time. When two people know each other well and spend a lot of time together, there are bound to be misunderstandings, fights, and other trials. Yet God says in His word “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” (New American Standard Bible, Proverbs 27:17) Even when friendships are difficult, they can “sharpen” the people involved in the friendship, like in the case of Danny and Reuven. Danny and Reuven’s friendship lasts through Danny’s irrational behavior, Reuven’s outbursts of anger, and Reb Saunders’s absurd beliefs.

Per the author, if we see ourselves in a certain light, we will act in that way, as we are defined by how we think. She states that, if we see ourselves in a negative way, that transfers over to the way we communicate with others, or even subordinates. She used the example of, how a manager with a narcissistic personality may be off-putting to fellow employees, which in turn will cause the employees to avoid the manager. On the other hand, being compassionate and understanding, and using positive viewpoints, can help foster relationships and better communication between a manager and subordinates. I agree with the message; however, I disagree with the format the chapter was presented in. The information and guides provided, could have been condensed to facilitate the enacting of these principles. The amount of information and systems advocated caused a sensory overload when I first attempted to read the chapter. That does not mean the advice was false or that it doesn’t work, but the way it was presented was not the best for learning and absorbing the

Taking an honest interest and devoting one’s self to obtaining a true understanding of what is being is learned, was a point that was centralized on in the article. I agree with this

The quote, “The key to success is bringing your identity in line with your reputation,” is important to know, but to know it you first have to know what identity is. Identity means the fact of being who or what a person or thing is. You also need to know what reputation is. Reputation means the beliefs or opinions that are generally held about someone or something. By knowing those two things you can piece together what this quote means, it means to have success your identity and reputation have to match. I agree with that because if Timmy one and Timmy two try for the same job and the person who chooses the person who gets the job he is going to go to each of their friends and ask if their friends act nice around them, so if Bob one says he is funny and cool but people say that he is annoying and mean then the people hiring won’t want him because his reputation and identity aren’t in line.

Many parents throughout time have been in control of their children’s friendships, perhaps, even in ways that they do not realize. Parents can control their children through their own separate actions, such as political viewpoints or religion. Chaim Potok uses this as a main theme in the novel. In The Chosen, if not for their fathers, Danny and Reuven’s friendship would be completely different because of their fathers viewpoints, parenting skills, and over-all actions in the novel.

To test this, we need only change our appraisal of others by praising them — recognizing in them the qualities that are true of them. However, our reappraisal must be based upon our perception of the universal qualities of Life, qualities that are the Truth and the essence of all. We are not praising traits that are unique to them. We are not looking for qualities that we wish they had. This

• Always use positive language and never use words or phrases that could be disrespectful towards another person.

The Single most important thing I learned in chapter 3 was reciprocity and the four main components of it: mutuality, nonjudgmental, honesty, and respect. I think this is very important because you shouldn’t be rude, judge people, lie to them and disrespect them during any form of communication or interaction.

Another personal value that I live by till this day that you taught is “it’s not about what you do, it’s how you do it”. Another concept that went over my head when I was younger. I think this concept can mean many different things depending on your perspective. The way I look at is I should always give everything I do my full effort and do it to the best of my ability. I think it saves you time from have to redo things multiply times. It’s basically like quality over quantity, the way I see it. For example, me going to school. If I just go to school just to say I’m going and not do my work to my full potential I would have different results than I have now. Instead of it taking me two years to finish my Associates degree it probably would

Learning what constitutes academic honesty is too important to leave to chance. Moreover, the foundations for such honesty are less and less likely to be brought into the academy by habits inculcated by the culture at large. Many distinguished institutions underscore the importance of academic honesty through an honor system, requiring each student to pledge that work submitted for a given assignment has been done without illegitimate assistance or unauthorized appropriation.

I think these three principles are very critical
