"If I had to list all the reasons I've been successful, the Number one reason would be the Dale Carnegie influence.  In fact, reasons number two and three would be Dale Carnegie Training, too."
- Harvy Mackay, Entrepreneur

"Wouldn't be where I am today if not for Dale Carnegie Training."

"To this day, I'm a great believer in Dale Carnegie Training.  I've known a lot of engineers with terrific ideas who had trouble explaining them to other people. It's always a shame when a guy with great talent can't tell the board or committee what's in his head.  More often than not, a Dale Carengie course would make all the difference...I've sent dozens of people to Dale Carnegie Training at the company's expense.  For most of them it made a real difference."
 - Lee Iococca, Former CEO

THE CARNEGIE COACH

FROM DALE CARNEGIE® TRAINING - ST. LOUIS


 How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie was named the business book of the 20th century.  However, it has been said that How to Stop Worrying and Start Living may be Dale Carnegie s more powerful book of the two in terms of potential impact on a person s life.  How effective can you be with human relations, if you are struggling with negative thoughts and excessive worry?
All of us face stress in our lives.  It is how we handle it that allows us to succeed in a stressful world.  Most successful people have experienced failure in their path to success.  This month we are focusing on developing a positive attitude to change our lives.

We hope you enjoy this and every issue of our newsletter. With that in mind,  please send us an e-mail message at info@carnegiestl.com if you have any suggestions regarding topics you would like to hear about in future issues.

 Cultivate a Mental Attitude that will Bring you Peace and Happiness
  by Jonathan Jones



Fill your mind with thoughts of peace, courage, health, and hope
To be positive, you have to think positive.  As an Olympic gymnast visualizes herself performing a perfect routine, we need to visualize that ideal world we want to live in.  Visualize peace, courage, health and hope.  Close your eyes now for a few moments to visualize. 

Never try to get even with your enemies
If our vision is positive, why waste a beautiful attitude on negative thoughts?  Some enemies would love to get under your skin.  Don t give them the satisfaction.  Focus on your goals.  If achieving your goals helps your enemies, so be it.  You may turn them into advocates.  Don t let anyone else control your thinking.  Hate will destroy you.  Love will support you.

Expect ingratitude
With so much stress in this world, people are thinking about their own problems.  Are you always thinking about what others have done for you?  Go ask any parent.  Again, stay focused on your happiness.  Weather someone shows appreciation to you or not should not change your attitude about them or anything.  Just assume they have a lot on their mind.

Count your blessings  not your troubles
I wept because I had no shoes, until I met a man with no feet.   We are so blessed to be alive.  There are many heroes  with terminal illnesses that are thrilled to be with us.  Helen Keller and thousands of handicapped  individuals have had major impacts to humanity.  Leveraging our strengths helps us to overcome our weakness. 

Do not imitate others
If we create vision for our own happiness and we focus on our strength, why take the extra effort to mimic someone else with other strengths and weaknesses.  You will have more confidence as a fist rate YOU than a second rate copy of someone else.

Try to profit from your losses
Just like the old saying; When you only have lemons, make lemonade.   With a positive attitude, even the worst case scenario can be turned into a positive situation.  You may not get the immediate prize you wanted, but persistence toward your vision of peace and happiness will give you dream of.

Create happiness for others
You will find that happiness is greater when you create happiness for others.  Life is not fair.  But if we try to make life better for others, we have a warm peaceful feeling that we have made a difference for someone else.  Peace, courage, health, and hope are much more enjoyable when we share it with others.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH

"Those who don't know how to fight worry, die young."

- Dale Carnegie



 
An Example of Persistence in a Life Time of Failures
 

At the age of seven, a young boy and his family were forced out of their home, and the boy was forced to go to work.
When the boy was nine, his mother passed away.
He had a job as a store clerk, but lost it when he was twenty.
The young man wanted to go to law school, but had no education.
He went into debt when he was twenty-three, to become a partner in a small store.
He ran for the state legislature, and was promptly defeated.
At twenty-six his business partner died, and left him with a debt that took years for him to repay.
The next year he had a nervous breakdown...
He dated a girl for four years and, at the age of twenty-eight, decided to ask her to marry him.
She turned him down.
Thirty-seven years into his life, he was elected to Congress... on his THIRD try.
He then failed to be re-elected.
At forty-one, his four-year-old son died.
At forty-two, he was rejected as a prospective land officer.
At age forty-five, he ran for the Senate...and failed to be elected.
He persisted at politics and ran for the vice-presidency at age forty-seven, and again lost.
At forty-nine, he ran for Senate again - and lost again...
Finally, at the age of fifty-one, this man was elected President of the United States.

His name was Abraham Lincoln.
