“No man is an island” is an well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need to have friends.
For some of us, though making friends is difficult because we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. It has sold millions of copies and has been put into28 languages.
Dale’s advice seem to be simple, but can it help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is some good advice from Dale’s book:
1, Be friendly and polite.
Always greet people with a smile, remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
2, Go out of your way to be nice.
Find some time to do speical things for other people. Making some soup of a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.
3, Remember names
They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.
4, Be open-minded.
Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.
5, Listen patiently.
When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.
