How to Win Friends & Influence People


This is seriously an awesome book. No matter what profession you go into or whatever you do with your life, this book applies to you. Casey made me read it because he sometimes thinks that I need to be more friendly and outgoing, especially around people that I just meet. It has taken me almost a year to actually read the whole thing...hhaha. It's not long, just not one of those book s that you can sit down and read all day. Anyways, here are some great quotes from it:

"Every man I meet is my superior in some way. In that, I learn of him"
-Emerson

"There is one all-important law of human conduct. If we obey that law, we shall almost never get into trouble. In fact, that law, if obeyed, will bring us countless friends and constant happiness. But the very instant we break the law, we shall get into endless trouble. The law is this: Always make the other person feel important...the desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature"
