Have a smile
A psychologist said, "People who smile tend to manage, teach and sell more effectively, and to raise happier children. There's far more information in a smile than a frown (皺眉). That's why encouragement is a much more effective teaching device than punishment."
Everybody in the world is seeking happiness -- and there is one sure way to find it. That is controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn't depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions.
"There is nothing either good or bad," said Shakespeare, "but thinking makes it so."
"A man without a smiling face must not open a shop." It is a proverb in ancient Chinese.

Become genuinely interested in other people
You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
People are not interested in you. They are not interested in me. They are interested in themselves.
When you see a group photograph that you are in, whose picture do you look for first?
If we merely try to impress people and get people interested in us, we will never have many true, sincere friends. Friends, real friends, are not made that way.
If the author doesn't like people, people won't like his or her stories.
If we want to make friends, let's put ourselves out to do things for other people--things that require time, energy, unselfishness and thoughtfulness (深思熟慮).
Many companies train their telephone operators to greet all callers in a tone of voice that radiates interest and enthusiasm. The caller feels the company is concerned about them.
Publilius Syrus remarked,"We are interested in others when they are interested in us."
Martin Ginsberg said,"It was Thanksgiving Day and I was ten years old. I was in a welfare ward of a city hospital and was scheduled to undergo major orthopedic (整形外科的/骨科) surgery the next day...My father was dead; my mother and I lived alone in a small apartment and we were on welfare. My mother was unable to visit me that day...A young student nurse heard my sobbing (啜泣) and came over to me. She took the covers off my face and started wiping my tears. She told me how lonely she was, having to work that day and not being able to be with her family. She asked me whether I would have dinner with her...She talked to me and tried to calm my fears..."

Chapter 3
Remember that tomorrow when you are trying to get somebody to do something. If, for example, you don't want your children to smoke, don't preach (說教) at them, and don't talk about what you want; but show them that cigarettes may keep them from making the basketball team or winning the hundred-yard dash (奔跑).
"If there is any one secret of success," said Henry Ford, "it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own."
Many salespeople spend a lifetime in selling without seeing things from the customer's angle.
Looking at the other person's point of view and arousing in him an eager want for something is not to be construed (理解為) as manipulating that person so that he will do something that is only for your benefit and his detriment (損害).
A child was underweight and refused to eat properly. His parents used the usual method. They scolded and nagged (嘮叨)...His father said to himself, "What does that boy want? How can I tie up what I want to what he wants?"...His boy had a tricycle that he loved to ride up and down the sidewalk (人行道). A few doors down the street lived a bully--a bigger boy who would pull the little boy off his tricycle and ride it himself...Naturally, the little boy would run screaming to his mother, and she would have to come out and take the bully off the tricycle and put her little boy on again. This happened every day...What did the little boy want?...His pride, his anger, his desire for a feeling of important...And when his father explained that the boy would be able to wallop (擊潰) the daylights out of the bigger kid someday if he would only eat the things his mother wanted him to eat.
