Features: Do you blush when meeting strangers? Do your legs tremble when giving a speech? Do you often fail to reach a resolution or even resort to conflict when negotiating with others due to incompatible words? Carnegie says: Anyone who first comes into contact with others will encounter such pitiful situations, just like how our hands shake when we first learn to write. However, all of this can be changed through training. As long as you are determined, and follow the various easy-to-use methods described in this book, you can learn and apply them anytime, anywhere. Tens of thousands of ordinary people have become successful speakers, effective negotiators, and beloved socialites by studying this book. If you are willing, you can too! Remember, learning this book is not just about reading—it is more important to practice!
In 1913, an adult education movement swept across the United States, and among the most prominent figures was Dale Carnegie. He listened to and evaluated countless adult speeches more than anyone else. He had evaluated 150,000 speeches. If this enormous number does not leave a deep impression on you, let’s calculate: this figure is equivalent to giving a speech almost every day since Columbus discovered the New World. Alternatively, let’s put it another way: if every person who spoke in front of Carnegie spoke for only three minutes and appeared one after another before him, it would take Carnegie a whole year to listen to all these speeches! And he would have to listen day and night!
The speech techniques taught by Carnegie still have the greatest influence today because no one has listened to and studied as many different speeches as he did.
