Become genuinely interested from "summary" of How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
One of the best ways to gain people's trust and respect is by showing genuine interest in them. Listening intently to what they have to say and providing thoughtful responses can help build strong relationships and create positive impressions. Making an effort to truly understand others can help build positive connections and create meaningful conversations.- Showing interest helps to start connections with others as you demonstrate that you are a thoughtful person and care about what is important to them.
- Being genuine means listening carefully to what other have to say and not just nodding through it or responding superficially.
- Taking the time to get to know people can improve relationships as conversations will be more meaningful from mutual positive emotions.
- To make an impact on others, one needs to become genuinely interested in other people’s lives and wants.
- Taking some initiative to find out people's interests and passions can help to identify common ground between two people which further leads to stronger bonds.
- Valuing everyone's contribution regardless of their social status and other superficial factors allows people to feel accepted and respected.
- A strong relationship starts with being genuinely curious towards someone and taking the initiative to continue exploring their interests.
