Dale Carnegie's success story

Inaction breeds fear.

"Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action creates confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, don't sit at home and think. Go out and take action."
Take action today! If you have a good idea, go for it. Inaction begets more inaction, and action begets more action. One thing I know for sure is that if you want to succeed, you have to take action, so take action now!

Make the most of your time.

"Instead of worrying about what people are saying about you, why not use the time to try and do something they would admire."
Spending time thinking about how other people perceive you is a huge waste of precious time. Focus on creating something special, and people will definitely admire you.

Failure is a stepping stone to success.

"Learn from your mistakes. Disappointment and failure are the two most important steps to success."
Often those who have suffered the greatest defeats have also had the greatest victories. You have to use disappointment and failure as a tool to take you from the pit to the palace.

We determine our happiness.

"Happiness does not depend on any external conditions; it is determined by our psychological attitude."
Happiness is a choice; it is not based on what is happening around us. It is based solely on what is happening within us. Happiness is based on the thoughts we pay attention to in the present moment.
Dale Carnegie said: "It doesn't matter what you have, who you are, where you are, or what you do to be happy or unhappy. What matters is what you think about it."

Remember, everything you do contains a message.

"There are only four ways we interact with the world. We evaluate and categorize everything according to four criteria: what we do, what we look like, what we say, and how we say it."
Everything you do has a message. The way you dress, the way you style your hair has a message to others. You are trying to express yourself somehow, trying to convey something to others.
For example, a beautiful slim figure suggests that you love sports, have an active lifestyle, and are a supporter of a healthy lifestyle. A business suit can say that you are a businessman, an enterprising person, value trust, etc.
This can also be used in the opposite direction. Repeat, "copy" the behavior of successful people and you will become one yourself!

Do what you like.

"People will not be successful unless they enjoy what they do."
If you want to be successful, don't do something for money. Money does not provide enough motivation to overcome all the obstacles that arise on the way to success.
If you want to be successful, spend your time doing what you enjoy. Then you will enjoy your success.

Take a risk.

"A person who is willing to go further than others is usually brave and courageous."
You have to take risks! In order to succeed, you must sometimes take the risk that you may find yourself in a difficulty or fail.
Carnegie said: "We all have capabilities we don't even realize we have. We are capable of doing things we can't even dream of doing." But if you never dare, you will never know your potential, your capabilities.
