"There is only one way to earn love in this world - to stop asking for it and start giving it without expecting anything in return."
Dale Carnegie was an American writer, lecturer, and pioneer of self-improvement, corporate training, public speaking, and interpersonal skills courses. He is the author of a bestseller How to Win Friends & Influence People from 1936, which is still very popular today. He also wrote a book How to overcome anxiety and start living (How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, 1948) and a biography of Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln the Unknown (1932) and many others. One of the fundamental ideas of his books is that it is it is possible to change other people's behavior if we ourselves change our behavior towards them!
So the psychologist and writer Dale Carnegie developed his idea of a successful relationship, without conflicts and overcoming fears, and today we bring you some of his wise reflections and thoughts!
1. Every person is stupid for at least five minutes a day. True wisdom is about not exceeding this time.

4. Be busy. It is the most effective medicine in the world.
5. If you want to change someone, start with yourself. It is more beneficial and not dangerous.

7. A smile costs nothing, but counts for a lot.
8. Many go to the doctor, but basically they just need company.

10. When a man starts a war against himself, he is already worth something.
11. It is clear that your husband has flaws, but if he were a saint, he would never marry you.

13. The secret of our unhappiness is that we have too much free time to think about whether we are happy or not.
14. For a wise man, a new life begins every day.
