An Inspirational Writer - Dale Carnegie

61

By CHEMISTRYOFLIFE

I think one who loves to read is a blessed one. Books are our best companions and sometimes help us to make decisions or change our attitude when nothing else works.

Today I just want to talk about a writer whose books became my inspiration and made me a confident person.

I am a great fan of Dale Carnegie (November 24, 1888 – November 1, 1955 ). He was an American writer and lecturer who wrote inspirational books like How to Win Friends and Influence People, a massive bestseller How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, as well several other books. I have been greatly influenced by his above mentioned books. By reading these books I was able to overcome emotional crisis in my life a number of times. His ideas can really change one’s approach to challenges in life . His books can inculcate in one a sense of confidence and will make one a different person .

One of his greatest poems which influenced me is titled as “Today” and I want to share a few lines of this great poem which I can never forget .;

Look to this day,

For this is life of very life

In its brief course

lies all the realities and varieties of life,

The bliss of growth and glory of action

So look well to this day

Such is the salutation to dawn

Make a difference to your life by reading these books and you will never look behind.

You have probably nominated the 2 books that have influenced my life when I first read them about 40 years ago. We thought then that what he wrote was just plain common sense. His books are still relevant today :)

I agree, what Dale writes is true and beneficial to everyone navigating their way through life surrounded by other people. Since I read "How to win friends..." I've been applying the principles - a big one which makes me stand out from most is making an effort to remember people's names.

agvulpes, it is 100% true that Dale's books are of great relevance even today. His books are motivational and generate a huge amount of positive energy in the readers that sometimes that could be life changing for them. My father gave me some of Dale's books to read about 20 years back and I found a direction in my life. Good to know that, you too, admire him a lot.

Thanks for sharing your views!
