Words of Wisdom: Dale Carnegie On Attitude

The last post of my Dale Carnegie Words of Wisdom series. 

Dale Carnegie was a writer and speaker on topics that included self improvement, positive attitude, public speaking, among other things.  Below are some of my favorite thoughts he shared on attitude:

  • Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic
  • Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving
  • Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have
  • Happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude
  • If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic
  • It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about
  • Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think
  • You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you
  • You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you
  • There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts: what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it
