You must have a good time meeting people if you expect them to have a good time meeting you.

I can look back at my own life and see where a few words of praise have sharply changed my entire future. Can't you say the same thing about your life?

If you want others to like you, if you want to develop real friendships, if you want to help others at the same time as you help yourself, keep this principle in mind: Become genuinely interested in other people.

Look your audience straight in the eyes, and begin to talk as if every one of them owed you money.

Take stock of your fears now and see how many of them are senseless. If you are honest with yourself you will probably find most of them are groundless.

The value of a smile... It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without it, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits. It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends.

When you face a problem, solve it then and there if you have the facts necessary to make a decision. Don't keep putting off decisions.
