Be sympathetic with others' ideas and desires from "summary" of How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

When dealing with others, it is important to show empathy and understanding towards their thoughts and wishes. People want to feel valued and respected, and by demonstrating sympathy towards their ideas and desires, you can build strong and positive relationships with them. Rather than dismissing or rejecting their viewpoints, take the time to listen and try to see things from their perspective. By being sympathetic towards others' ideas and desires, you can create a sense of connection and trust. People are more likely to open up to you and be receptive to your own thoughts and opinions when they feel that you genuinely care about what they have to say. This can lead to more meaningful and productive interactions, as well as a greater sense of mutual respect and understanding. When you show empathy towards others, you can also become a more effective communicator. By acknowledging and validating their feelings and perspectives, you can create a more positive and supportive environment for discussion and collaboration. This can help to prevent misunderstandings and conflicts, and facilitate smoother and more harmonious relationships with others. In addition, by being sympathetic towards others' ideas and desires, you can inspire them to be more open-minded and receptive to new perspectives. When people feel that their thoughts are being heard and respected, they are more likely to be willing to consider alternative viewpoints and solutions. This can lead to more creative and innovative thinking, as well as greater cooperation and collaboration among individuals.
