I'v been reading a book called "How to Win Friends and Influence People" which is so amazingly interesting. To me it seems like a book that gives you cheat codes to life.

When I read the DETAILED suggestions and teachings, it's so simple to understand yet so powerful and effective.The best part about the book is that it's more moral than I can ever hope to be. The guy is encouraging such good traits.



Take a look at this short snippet of what I am talking about.


Tell me what you think, I think it's true criticisms does way more damage than good. Sure it makes me feel better at times but it doesn't prevent the problem really and it also make the other person dislike me.

Too good is no good buddy for example let's say you're the nicest guy around you don't hurt no one and you treat nice to even your enemies that hurt you every opportunity they get if this the case there's a weakness in you that makes your self-worth go in thin air

and if you're expecting every thing go on your way because you're a nice guy then there's a false mind set too and when the reality strikes you it only gonna make you bitter .

and probably the book is good and it teach you ways you can make yourself better but you will have to find a good balance with them so not to get used by false minded in the process .

personally I criticize things sometimes specially behaviors that can hurt lot of people and i do it with good intentions though it might not look like it and i take criticism good if it done with good intentions if not would be careless about it and I'm not interested in condemning things or people .

I agree with you Centaurus. While i was reading this book I was wondering what if someone hurts someone's feelings, often in my opinion you need to criticize it and stand up for it. You can't be nice bout it, you need to deal with these things strongly. However the lessons I have learnt is not to criticize as much as I do, a lot of the times I think for me it's unnecessary.

Furthermore the book talked about genuinely complimenting other's accomplishments which I am going to start doing a little more. Even with that, you can't compliment people too much even if you mean it or it loses it's magic as well as the fact that It makes you look like you're sucking up to person.

You hit the nail on the head, balance, as of before I was definitely not too balances, now I will try to compliment a little more and sometimes (not often) give the people that are looking for praise, praise.

Idk what you are talking about but I think it depends on the person. You have to understand them first to gain their influence. Some do not like critics, mostly plebs who want to hear only good about them. For some it would look vice or suspicious if you do not say thing straight through.

This can be derived from Sun Tzu's preferred method of victory: "Conquer, rather than destroy".

I haven't finished that book yet. The way I look at it is, I will apply whatever principle or advice in that book aslong as I don't have to suck up to anyone. And as a person it just feels good to be nice to people and have them be nice to you in return.
