The challenge that I understand after reading a chapter “HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE” from Dale Carnegie’s book is how we can acquire the fascination of others by taking a genuine interest in them. The most interesting lesson that I understand from this chapter:

It is obvious, how we treat with others in response they will also do in the same sense. Everyone wants to talk about themselves rather than listening to others. Everyone needs attention and respect. So, if we start asking about themselves, about their lives, then we can obviously gain their interest. The writer Dale Carnegie told the story of a Musician that how he grabs the attention of others and acquire their interest because he always gave value to his listeners. I think if we take interest in people they will definitely take an interest in us.
I tried to implement this interesting challenge in my practical life. After reading this chapter, I met with my colleagues and friends and asked about themselves what are they doing, nowadays. First of all, I observed and realized that when I asked questions about themselves they are surprised and felt very happy because I asked in a cheerful and soft tune and I allow them to explain themselves. I talked to my fellow and ask his so many questions he started talking about his routine activities and feels that he is taking so much interest in talking about himself. Actually, he is very interested in reading so he said that he had studied many books related to Engineering. When I talked to my friends and asked about their education, what are they doing and what are their further plans. From this activity, I have learned that asking questions from others about themselves make them realized that I actually care about them. They feel very happy. You can win other hearts by realizing them you are really interested in them. I think sometimes people also your parents just need your attention. They desire to talk to you and wants to spend time with you. I also have enough experience in my life. In the future, you also create a desire for this from your children as well. Please try to spend most of the time with your parents, it’s my humble request.
