1. If you are looking for happiness, then you don’t need to think about gratitude or ingratitude..
Drop duality. Surrender to the inner joy that comes from surrender.
Dale Carnegie understood this world very correctly. We cannot be happy as long as we divide everything that happens into good or bad, into ours and yours, into cold and warm. You need to move away from dualities and perceive everything as it is. Whatever happens in your life, take it for granted, as an experience, as a lesson, as an opportunity to change something, to act differently.
Expectations are another problem that certainly will not make a person happy. Therefore, if you do something, do not expect gratitude or ingratitude. You don’t act in a certain way in order to be praised and told how great you are. Indulge in inner joy and enjoy everything that happens, regardless of the assessment of others.
2. You should never settle scores with your enemies, because in the end this will bring more harm to you than to them.
Although there is such a thing as “blood feud”, and there are people who live by the principle “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”, but is this correct? Believe me, revenge will not make you happy and will not bring joy and peace into your life. Learn to forgive people, learn to understand them and accept all their actions. It is much easier when you say within yourself: “No matter what you do, I forgive you. Go in peace."
Of course, for some this may seem ridiculous, saying that if I or my family were offended, then you need to offend in return, take revenge, do as they do to you. Remember that evil begets even greater evil, and your desire for revenge will bring many problems and disappointments into your life. We do many things out of emotion, and only later, when we assess the situation soberly, do we realize how much stupidity we have done. Don't do anything stupid, learn to forgive and be tolerant.
3. Act like General Eisenhower: never think for a minute about people who are unpleasant to you.
There are so many wonderful things in life, so many pleasant and positive things, we just often don’t notice these banal things. Don't focus on problems and the people who create those problems. Do not think about those who are unpleasant to you, about those who bring sorrow and disappointment into your life. After all, the law of attraction says: “What you focus your attention on comes into your life at a special speed.” If you constantly think about problems, then there will be even more of them. Therefore, bring joy, positive thinking, and faith in a bright future into your life. Believe me, life is not so long to waste it thinking about unpleasant things and people.

4. Don't criticize, don't judge, don't complain.
Perhaps the shortest quote from Dale Carnegie, but the deepest in meaning. Many people understand that there is no need to criticize, condemn and complain, but not many people think about why. Let's find out. What are critics - this is the awareness that you are superior and better than man. Who told you this? Your own ego? Well, you don’t need to put yourself above others, because you don’t know all their life situations, and you can’t criticize a person for what they are like. this moment. The only person you have the right to criticize is yourself. Condemnation also comes from criticism. Who are we to judge other people? We often see grains of sand in the eyes of others, while not noticing the logs in our own. We love to savor and condemn our neighbor’s problems, but at the same time we are unable to notice and understand our own troubles.
Complaining is another negative aspect of our lives that you should eliminate. Complaining and making yourself a victim will not change anything. As mentioned above, what you concentrate your thoughts on comes into your life. If you constantly think about problems, complain about a bad life, then it will become even worse.
5. Remember, your interlocutor may be completely wrong. But he doesn't think so. There is no need to judge him.
Each of us has our own point of view, our own thoughts and vision of certain situations. Let your thoughts not always coincide with the views of your interlocutors. But this is natural. We are all individuals, we all have the right to freedom of worldview. Therefore, if you find yourself in a situation where your friend talks about something with which you do not agree, then it is better to simply accept him, accept his point of view. We are not saying that you should change yourself and your vision, you just have to learn to accept other people for who they are. The desire to argue and change them will lead to conflict. You need it?
6. Know how to take the position of another person and understand what he needs, not you. The whole world will be with the one who can do this.
Don’t look at the world only from the position of “I” and “I need.” From the pages of fashion magazines, from TV screens, we are told that selfishness is normal, that you need to live for yourself and not notice anyone else, and that’s the only way you can achieve success. But few people compare the concepts of success and happiness. Will you be happy if you don’t have true friends, good acquaintances, if you are valued only for your bank account? Steve Jobs once said: “Money is not the most important thing. I don’t want to be the richest dead person in the cemetery.”
Learn to understand other people, see their needs and desires. You should never put yourself higher, think that because you have more money, you have the right to control the lives of other people. Learn to live in harmony with this world and with all people.

7. If a person tries to use you for his own purposes, cross him out from among your acquaintances.
Don't allow yourself to be manipulated. Yes, you can understand a person, understand his motives, you can even accept such behavior, but this does not mean that you should allow him to use you for selfish purposes. If you see that they are smiling falsely at you and “pouring pink syrups” just for the sake of profit, then try to say goodbye to such a person. Believe me, it’s better to do this right away and separate your life paths rather than end up in a very difficult and unpleasant situation in the future.
8. If fate gives you a lemon, make lemonade out of it.
A very successful quote from Dale Carnegie, which says that you can find a way out of any situation. Everything that you consider to be problems and failures is actually not such. What makes a situation problematic? That's right, our attitude towards it. Some, when faced with problems, become discouraged, begin to worry and fear that they will not be able to find the right way out. Others, when faced with a similar situation in their lives, think completely differently. They understand that a problem is not a problem at all, but an opportunity to analyze their actions, understand what was done wrong, realize certain points and do everything again, only taking into account the experience and knowledge gained.
Someone who receives a lemon may grimace and say, “Ugh, what disgusting,” while someone else will make lemonade and enjoy it on a hot summer day.
9. Stay busy. This is the cheapest medicine on earth - and one of the most effective.
I don’t even know what to add here. In essence, this phrase says it all. Always find something to do: work, write, study, draw, sing, learn, actively look at nature outside the window. When you are busy, then no problems are significant; when you are busy, then all difficulties disappear. The main thing is that this activity brings pleasure, that you really enjoy what you are doing.

Dale Carnegie (11/24/1888 - 11/1/1955) - psychologist, writer and author of the line, public speaking and communication skills. Dale Carnegie was a great man and his thoughts are still relevant today! Right below you will see the best Carnegie quotes:
Logic is a gift of the minority. The majority are influenced by prejudices and prejudices. Many people are infected with biased opinions, jealousy, suspicion, fear, envy and pride. And people for the most part do not want to change their views: be it on issues of religion or hairstyle, communism or the performance of a popular actor.
Remember that your interlocutor may be completely wrong. But he doesn't think so. Don't judge him. Any fool can act differently. Try to understand him. Only wise, tolerant, extraordinary people try to do this.
People are ruled by pride and selfishness, and driven by vanity and prejudice.
There is only one way to earn love in this world - stop demanding it and start giving love without hoping for gratitude.
Don't criticize, don't judge, don't complain.
Express your approval honestly and sincerely.
A strong desire to learn something is already 50% of success.
To flatter means to tell a person exactly what he thinks about himself.
The deepest quality of a person is a passionate desire to be appreciated.
The late John Wenemaker once admitted: “Thirty years ago I realized that grumbling is stupid. I have enough trouble with my own shortcomings to be annoyed because God did not take care to evenly distribute mental abilities among people.”
Criticism is useless because it makes a person defensive and, as a rule, strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous because it attacks his pride, hurts his sense of self-importance and makes him resentful.
“When the struggle begins within a person, then he is worth something,” Browning said.
Confucius said: “Do not complain about the snow on your neighbor’s roof if your own threshold is not cleared.”
In your relationships with people, do not forget that you are not dealing with logical creatures, but with emotional creatures, full of prejudices and driven in their actions by pride and vanity.
Any fool can criticize, condemn and express dissatisfaction - and most fools do so.
But being understanding and forgiving requires strong character and self-control.“The greatness of a great man is revealed in the way he treats little people,” says Carlyle.
You can make more friends in two months by being interested in other people than you could make in two years by trying to interest your special one.
A person rarely succeeds in anything if his activity does not bring him joy.
You are happy or unhappy not because of what you have, and not because of who you are, where you are, and not because of who you are, where you are, or what you do; your condition is determined by what you think about it all.
Abe Lincoln once observed that “most people are only as happy as they decide to be.”
Thought is the greatest power.
And yet it [a smile] cannot be bought, cannot be begged, cannot be borrowed or stolen, since it is of no use in itself until it is given away!
The French philosopher La Rochefoucauld said: “If you want to have enemies, then surpass your friends; but if you want to have friends, then let your friends be superior to you.”
The surest way to a person’s heart is to talk with him about what he values above all else.
We should be modest, because you and I don’t mean much. Do you know what prevents you from becoming an idiot? A complete trifle. Just a small amount of iodine in your thyroid gland. If a surgeon opened up your thyroid gland and removed a little iodine from it, you would turn into an idiot. A little iodine, which you can buy at the corner drugstore for five cents, is all that stands between you and a mental hospital. Five cents worth of iodine! You're not really bragging about this, are you?
Of all the sure-fire devices that the devils of hell have ever invented to destroy love, the deadliest are nagging. This technique never fails. Like the bite of a king cobra, it always poisons, always kills.
Promises are usually worth little.
Act as if you are already happy and you will actually become happier.
Keep busy. This is the cheapest medicine on earth - and one of the most effective.
Never try to settle scores with your enemies, because by doing so you will do yourself much more harm than them. Do like General Eisenhower: never think for a minute about people you don't like.
Three quarters of the people you meet tomorrow crave sympathy. Show it and they will understand you!
If you want to change people, start with yourself - it’s both more useful and safer.
The expression on a woman's face is much more important than her clothes.
Do not allow yourself to be upset over trifles that should be despised and forgotten. Remember that life is too short to waste it on trifles.
In this world, everyone is looking for happiness, and there is only one way, one sure way to find it. This is control over your thoughts.
If a person is trying to use you for his own purposes, remove him from your list of friends.
You are not happy or unhappy because of what you have, or because of who you are, where you are, or what you do; your condition is determined by what you think about it all.
Don't imitate others. Find yourself and be yourself.
Three subjects are the most interesting in the world... Sex, property and religion. With the help of the first we can create life, with the help of the second we maintain it, and with the help of the third we hope to continue it in another world.
Know how to take the position of another person and understand what HE needs, not you. The whole world will be with the one who can do this
