    (PART 9/Principle 2) (excerpts from the book HOw to WIN Friends and INFLUENCE People)

    Then the doctor told me this story:

    "I have a patient right now whose marriage proved
    to be a tragedy. She wanted love, sexual gratification,
    children and social prestige, but life blasted all her hopes.

    Her husband didn't love her. He refused even to eat
    with her and forced her to serve his meals in his
    room upstairs.

    She had no children, no social standing. She went
    insane; and, in her imagination, she divorced her
    husband and resumed her maiden name. She now
    believes she has married into English aristocracy,
    and she insists on being called Lady Smith."

    "And as for children, she imagines now that she has
    had a new child every night. Each time I call on her
    she says: 'Doctor, I had a baby last night.' "

    Life once wrecked all her dream ships on the sharp
    rocks of reality; but in the sunny, fantasy isles of
    insanity, all her barkentines race into port with canvas
    billowing and winds singing through the masts.

    " Tragic? Oh, I don't know. Her physician said to me:
    If I could stretch out my hand and restore her sanity,
    I wouldn't do it. She's much happier as she is."

    If some people are so hungry for a feeling of importance
    that they actually go insane to get it, imagine what miracle
    you and I can achieve by giving people honest appreciation
    this side of insanity.

    (PART 10/Principle 2) (excerpts from the book HOw to WIN Friends and INFLUENCE People)

    One of the first people in American business to
    be paid a salary of over a million dollars a year
    (when there was no income tax and a person
    earning fifty dollars a week was considered well off)
    was Charles Schwab.

    He had been picked by Andrew Carnegie to become
    the first president of the newly formed United States
    Steel Company in 1921, when Schwab was only
    thirty-eight years old. (Schwab later left U.S. Steel
    to take over the then-troubled Bethlehem Steel Company,
    and he rebuilt it into one of the most profitable companies
    in America.)

    Why did Andrew Carnegie pay a million dollars a year,
    or more than three thousand dollars a day, to Charles
    Schwab? Why? Because Schwab was a genius? No.

    Because he knew more about the manufacture of
    steel than other people? Nonsense.

    Charles Schwab told me himself that he had many
    men working for him who knew more about the
    manufacture of steel than he did.

    Schwab says that he was paid this salary largely
    because of his ability to deal with people. I asked
    him how he did it. Here is his secret set down in his
    own words - words that ought to be cast in eternal
    bronze and hung in every home and school, every shop
    and office in the land - words that children ought to
    memorize instead of wasting their time memorizing the
    conjugation of Latin verbs or the amount of the annual
    rainfall in Brazil - words that will all but transform your life
    and mine if we will only live them:

    "I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among my
    people," said Schwab, "the greatest asset I possess, and
    the way to develop the best that is in a person is by
    appreciation and encouragement.

    "There is nothing else that so kills the ambitions of a
    person as criticisms from superiors. I never criticize
    any-one. I believe in giving a person incentive to work.
    So I am anxious to praise but loath to find fault.
    If I like anything, I am hearty in my approbation and
    lavish in my praise. "

    That is what Schwab did. But what do average
    people do? The exact opposite. If they don't like a
    thing, they bawl out their subordinates;
    if they do like it, they say nothing.

    As the old couplet says: "Once I did bad and that
    I heard ever/Twice I did good, but that I heard
    never."

    (PART 11/Principle 2) (excerpts from the book HOw to WIN Friends and INFLUENCE People)

    Sincere appreciation was one of the secrets of the
    first John D. Rockefeller's success in handling men.

    For example, when one of his partners, Edward T.
    Bedford, lost a million dollars for the firm by a bad
    buy in South America, John D. might have criticized;
    but he knew Bedford had done his best - and the incident
    was closed. So Rockefeller found something to praise; he
    congratulated Bedford because he had been able to save
    60 percent of the money he had invested.

    "That's splendid," said Rockefeller. "We don't always do as
    well as that upstairs."
