MESSAGE #601 - DALE CARNEGIE’S FIRST RULE

One of the greatest self-help books of all time is
“How to Win Friends and Influence People” by
the great Dale Carnegie (1888-1955).

It was originally published in 1936 and more than
15,000,000 copies have been sold.

Carnegie’s Rule #1 was:

DON’T CRITICIZE, CONDEMN OR COMPLAIN.

In explaining this concept, Carnegie wrote:

IF YOU WANT TO GATHER HONEY,
DON’T KICK OVER THE BEEHIVE.

I found this advice on Coach Mike Tully’s
Peptalk Hotline: (973) 773-2151.
Thanks, Coach!
