Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.

Criticizing others only puts them on the defensive and hurts their pride. Instead, try to understand their viewpoints and be empathetic. Approach situations constructively to foster better relationships.

1. Don't Criticize, Condemn, or Complain

People crave appreciation more than praise. When you acknowledge someone's efforts or qualities genuinely, they feel valued and motivated. Make your appreciation specific and heartfelt, never superficial.

2. Give Honest and Sincere Appreciation

The best way to influence others is to see what they want and show how they can get it. Talk about their desires and interests rather than your own to engage their enthusiasm and cooperation.

3. Arouse in the Other Person an Eager Want

Take a real interest in people’s lives, stories, and feelings. This strengthens trust and connection. When you show you care, others naturally feel drawn to you.

4. Become Genuinely Interested in Other People

Smiling is a simple but powerful way to make people feel comfortable, welcome, and positive. It communicates warmth and friendliness faster than words.

5. Smile

Using someone’s name in conversation shows respect and makes the interaction personal. People take pride in their names, so remembering and using them creates instant rapport.

6. Remember that a Person's Name is the Sweetest Sound

Listening attentively and encouraging others to share their stories makes them feel understood and valued. It also lets you learn what's important to them, which can improve your connection.

7. Be a Good Listener — Encourage Others to Talk About Themselve

People love discussing what matters most to them. By focusing conversations on their interests, you engage their attention and create mutual enthusiasm.

8. Talk in Terms of the Other Person's Interests

Showing respect and genuine appreciation makes others feel valued. When people sense your sincerity, they are more likely to open up, cooperate, and develop lasting friendships.

9. Make the Other Person Feel Important — and Do it Sincerely
