    Just wanted to share two books that I read in the 70’s that made a “HUGE” change in my life!
    “How to make Friends and Influence people “ by Dale Carnegie.
    2nd “Think and Grow Rich”.

    I did not have many friends growing up. I didn’t know how to communicate with people, Dale Carnegie books open my world!

    So many men & women really do not know how to communicate? Plus you will need strong principles , (Integrity, trustworthy, & be energetic!)
    Aloha

    I read the second one before, some of the phrases still refreshing in my mind.
    “One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat. No one ever is defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.” — Napoleon Hill

    Thank you for sharing. There are so many self help books, self-learning programs, videos, that can change one’s life on the web sites. If they want too! This is the key , they must want too!
    I also like the TED talks videos. Also a member of the Toastmasters, 6+ years

    I try to help so many people I met, friends, and fellow co-workers, they all say the same thing “No Time”. Yet they say they want to make changes? But make NO efforts.

    For those who understand the power of words ,willing to make changes and sacrifices all will achieve “successes “

    We all got the power to change, if you want too?
