The secret of winning people is never telling an untruth, but letting sincerity take such deep root within you that your simple word carries conviction.

Day Four

The secret of winning people is addressing the issues calmly, never emotionally or excitedly. To put it otherwise: When trying to persuade someone, use adjectives sparingly.

Day Six

The secret of winning people is to present points of mutual agreement before proceeding to your central theme.

The secret of winning people is to remain calm under attack, and withhold recognition from comments that are made simply to offend.

Day Eight

The secret of winning people is to be convinced that the other person, too, wants to arrive at the truth.
