What Carnegie conceptualize in the US may not be applicable to other parts of the world.The problem of the US was plenty and to the other underdeveloped countries like India was the lack of it.Hence here we never faced such a problem as the US citizens face.Our problem was lack of resources and opportunities as a result of slavery for more than two centuries under foreign domination.

Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends
And Influence People” came out
With tips on self improvement ends,
When face to face did come about,
Or writing letters for slow mail,
Before the Facebook/Twitter age
Of keyed vocab in abbrev scale,
And banter blogging is the rage.
There’s been an attempted update.
The New York Times review did charge
Molestation was Dale’s book’s fate.
The update – criminal at large.

Carnegie called smiling an ace.
Digitally – use smiley face!

Oh I read Dale Carnegie’s advice on How To Win Friends and Influence People”. I liked it then and think the advice is true today. But a person must be sincere and truthful in talking to the other person. If the words spoken don’t come from an honest heart ,and a soul of integrity, they will ring as hollow as a tin bell.
