Dale Carnegie died in1955. He was a pioneer in public speaking and personality development. He became famous by showing others how to become successful.
His book How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936) has sold more than 10 million copies and has been translated into many languages. His books became popular because of his illustrative stories and simple, well-phrased rules. Two of his most famous maxims were:
- Believe that you will succeed, and you will.
- Learn to love, respect and enjoy other people.
His other books include How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (1948). Toward the beginning of his career, Carnegie wrote Public Speaking and Influencing Men in Business in 1931which has since become a standard text.
Carnegie attended Warrensburg Missouri State Teachers College, and became a salesman for Armour and Company. Later, he taught public speaking to businessmen. He was born in Maryville, Missouri.
- Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic.
- Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.
