timetogrow Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Has anyone ever read "how to win friends & influence people" by Dale Carnegie? Do you think it is easy to apply the principles written in this book to your daily lives and relations with family and friends? I just began the part one which Dale Carnegie advocates that we should never criticize and condemn anyone because as he says "Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts his sense of importance and arouses resentment." But let's say, what would you do if you were in a situation where you were being abused( both physically and mentally). Would you critize and fight back the person abusing you or take a different approach to solve this problem? So instread of cirticizing people, what would you do to soulve the problem without criticizing and offending them? thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
