Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to from "summary" of How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
One way to influence people positively is to give them a reputation to live up to. When we have a high opinion of someone, we tend to act in a way that is consistent with that opinion. By expecting the best from others, we encourage them to rise to our level of expectation. This technique can be especially effective in situations where someone may have made a mistake or acted poorly in the past. When we focus on the positive aspects of a person's character and abilities, we are more likely to see those qualities shine through. People are often eager to prove themselves worthy of the good opinion others hold of them. This approach can be a powerful tool for building relationships and motivating others to be their best selves. It requires us to look beyond any shortcomings and see the potential for greatness in each person we encounter. By giving others a fine reputation to live up to, we not only boost their confidence and self-esteem, but we also create a positive environment where everyone can thrive. This simple yet powerful technique can have a profound impact on how we interact with others and how they perceive themselves.
