Yea. Basically a friend told me how he speaks to many professionals who all rave about it (wouldnt be surprised if hes boosting) and how its phenomenal in how it changes his thoought process. He's saying how it makes him speak better, people like him more etc etc.
But I'm listening to him and its the exact same dude
I might read it anyways as I havent read a book in a couple months now but I dunno.
One thing he told me was how the book says:
A. Not to look at things in a negative way because doing so has no benefit.
This is a given...but at the same time you have to acknowledge something negative for what it is...something negative. If you don't then how else can you fix it or move past it? For instance lets say you are a manager of some stock traderse and somebody underneath you made an extremely bad trade that cost tons of money. Wouldn't you be better of saying, "Son, you messed up quite a bit here and I'm going to show you what caused the mistake. Blah blah...here is what you can look out for to avoid it happening again in the future" in a peaceful manner. I'm curious to see how the book would frame it so that you are getting the same message across without acknowledging the fact that something bad happened. But then again i think that part is mainly about how you shouldnt say anything negative that isnt unwarranted (for instance if nobody asked your opinion).
B. When bad things happen to you, you cant look at it as somebody did it to you on purpose.
This one really hit close to home because he used an example about how I didnt get into a school I was trying to transfer too. I maintain that I fukkING deserved to get in based on all my extracurriculars and grades but his idea was that they didnt purposely reject you because it was something against you. They rather accepted other people and then sadly you didnt fit the bill.
I feel that paints things in too much of a rosy picture though. There are always things behind the scenes and just because something happened subconciously it doesnt mean that it is fair or should be over looked. Obviously you shouldnt dwell on it..but if you don't account for factors that are lingering...how can you propel yourself so that those factors dont affect you next time?
Yall probably like
but I dunno....maybe ill go into more detail about the second situationYea.

Thanks for sharing. I may even check it out myself, but if you want to check something out pick up " brand ur self" ( the ur is not a typo) she makes a great case about utilizing every opportunity to market yourself.
Or even a napoleon hill book.

This I don't know why anybody that has read it would think it was a bad book
I agree with this too and it definitely helps with little stories. One that I always remember that you don't have to read the book to know but it's good reference is when Al Capone got busted and he said this is the thanks I get for trying to help people. Even though people saw him as bad people will always think they are right. Another good one is when some of us look at certain types of black and or people in general and it was Abraham Lincoln I think that said they are but who you would be in the same situation. At times people don't seem to understand things like who your parents are, neighborhood, and how much that hurts/helps you in life. I love the book and think and grow rich.
read it, its a good book. Also read how to talk to anyone, it's hugely beneficial in the professional world. It's so important to be able to keep a good conversation, to be able to create small talk out of nothing.

Do you need help winning friends and influencing people?
I did a quick google search and read some quotes from the book. The majority of it is stuff I have already learned just by living life and growing as a person. But if you have problems communicating with people I would recommend it. If I were 18-23 I would get a lot out of this book.
