I have attempted to apply the “Whale done” approach and I realized that there were some situations that things became easier for me and sometimes they were highlights of my days. Few days ago, I ran into one of the elderly employees at Starbuck and she was frustrated because she was having trouble getting the new cash register to read her fingerprint to sign in and she could not remember how to make my drink. I simply explained that when she made the drink I knew it would be extra delicious because I was made to wait and would enjoy it more and that I was not really in any big hurry. She relaxed, remembered how to prepare the drink and was able to ask another employee to help her sign into her register. She was suddenly smiling and seemed to be much happier. Rather than focusing on the negative setbacks I redirected her to the positive and I could see the difference it made in her overall performance. Though it was just a small change in my reaction but it has inspired me and helped me realize how much power I have to affect those around

Jeremiah received information that false prophets in Babylon were telling the exiles they would return home soon. Therefore, the exiles made little or no effort, to adjust to their new surroundings. When King Zedekiah sent an official delegation to Babylon, Jeremiah used the occasion to secretly send a letter, carried by Elasah and Gemariah, two of Jeremiah’s few supporters, to “the rest of the elders of the exile, the priests, the prophets and all the people” (29: 1-3). Disturbed by their unrealistic attitude, Jeremiah exhorted them to settle down, build homes, and plant gardens; for he knew they would be in Babylon many years (25:11).5

Reading this book and other materials in the course has cause me to examine myself, make some decisions when it comes to how I want to help people, and ways to help them.

How to Win Friends and Influence People delivers an in depth and holistic perspective on human relationships. The premise of the novel is essentially building relationships and its aim is to help the reader accomplish exactly what is stated in the title; win friends and influence people. Written by Dale Carnegie and first published in 1937, the novel was a product of the Dale Carnegie Course in Effective Speaking. His courses were so popular, publishers realized that people skills are a prized commodity to people from all walks of life and there would be a huge market for a manual in developing this skillset.

The book was slightly revised for its later publications so some original features have been omitted, I will be reviewing its recent 2005 publication.
