Begin with praise and honest appreciation from "summary" of How to Win Friends and Influence by Dale Carnegie
When dealing with people, remember that they are human beings with feelings just like you. They crave appreciation and recognition just as much as you do. So, if you want to make a positive impression and build strong relationships, start by acknowledging their strengths and qualities. By beginning with praise and honest appreciation, you set a positive tone for the interaction. People are more likely to be open and receptive when they feel valued and respected. This simple act of showing genuine admiration can go a long way in creating goodwill and fostering trust.
It's important to remember that the praise should be sincere and specific. Generic compliments can come across as insincere and may even backfire. Take the time to observe and identify the person's unique qualities or achievements that you genuinely appreciate.
When you express your admiration, be sure to do it in a way that is authentic and heartfelt. People can tell when you're being genuine, and they will respond positively to your sincerity. This can help to strengthen the bond between you and create a more positive and harmonious relationship.
Starting with praise and honest appreciation is not about flattery or manipulation. It's about recognizing and acknowledging the good in others and building connections based on mutual respect and understanding. When you approach people with a sincere and positive attitude, you will find that they are more inclined to reciprocate and respond in kind.
