How to Win Friends and Influence People: Principal number1: don't criticize, condemn or complain. When starting this book i was a little hesitant about reading it because i saw that is was written around 70 years ago. Once i started reading i found the information to be enjoyable and very helpful. The author talks about how criticism is dangerous because it causes resentment but in most cases it also comes back to you. This chapter taught me a lot, most of the time i'm quick to criticize. It taught that criticism isn't always the best approach. learning how to accept peoples faults and not condemn them for their mistakes but instead helping them in a selfless and generous way will not only teach you patience but will grow your relationship. the author stated," Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving." This was a great lesson for some of the though relationships that i have going on in my own life at this time. It has taught me to be patient with people and show love to them no matter the situation.
I've only read half of part one...
