A Barber Lathers A Man Before He

An Effective Speaker Knows That The Success Or Failure Of His Talk Is Not For Him To Decide - It Will Be Decided In The Minds And Hearts Of His Hearers.

Criticism Is Futile Because It Puts A Person On The Defensive And Usually Makes Them Strive To Justify Themselves. Criticism Is Dangerous, Because It Wounds A Person's Precious Pride, Hurts Their Sense Of Importance, And Arouses Resentment.

The Way To Defeat Fear: Decide On A Course Of Conduct And Follow It. Keep So Busy And Work So Hard That You Forget About Being Afraid.

Remember That The People You Are Talking To Are A Hundred Times More Interested In Themselves And Their Wants And Problems Than They Are In You And Your Problems.

A Smile Is Nature's Best Antidote For Discouragement. It Brings Rest To The Weary, Sunshine To Those Who Are Frowning, And Hope To Those Who Are Hopeless And Defeated. A Smile Is So Valuable That It Can't Be Bought, Begged, Borrowed, Or Taken Away Against Your Will. You Have To Be Willing To Give A Smile Away Before It Can Do Anyone Else Any Good. So If Someone Is Too Tired Or Grumpy To Flash You A Smile, Let Him Have One Of Yours Anyway. Nobody Needs A Smile As Much As The Person Who Has None To Give.
