Criticism is something you can avoid easily—by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. — Aristotle

Last week I wrote about how someone criticized my answer to “What one sentence can change the world if every human being would live by it?” because they don’t like the fact that people like me can make money from blogging or writing guides. While I could have argued with him on the internet, that would have simply been counterproductive. Thankfully though, I was able to gain a seed of inspiration from him. You can try that too when somebody criticizes you. Instead of reacting negatively to criticism, why not attempt to gain something from it?

May kaibigan o katrabaho ka bang masayang maging kasama? Isang kaibigan na, kapag ikaw ay namomroblema, nariyan sila para tumulong o at least pasayahin ka? Sa kabilang dako, baka may kakilala ka naman na puro negativity lang ang inilalagay sa iyong buhay. Isang tao na pinagtatawanan ka kapag ikaw ay nagkamali o kinokonsenya ka para gawin ang gusto nila. Isipin mo may irerekomenda ka para sa pay raise o promotion. Malamang, irerekomenda mo ang mabuting kaibigan at hindi ang mapang-api. Kung gusto mo ng mabuting karma at magkaroon ng mas maraming magagandang oportunidad sa buhay, kailangan mong maging mabuting kaibigan sa lahat.

Para sa iyong negosyo man o career, o para sa iyong mga kaibigan at pamilya, ang pagiging magaling makisama ay isang kakayahang kailangan para magtagumpay sa buhay at magkaroon ng mabubuting pakikipag-ugnayan sa iba. Sayang lang at napakaraming tao ang nandadaya dito at gumagamit lamang ng pambobola at panloloko. Kung gusto mong magustuhan ka ng mga tao, kailangan gamitin mo ang tamang paraan: ang paggamit ng kabutihan at tapat na kalooban. Ito ang limang aral na kailangan mo ngayong pag-aralan.

Do you know a friend or coworker who is fun to hang out with? Someone who, whenever you have a problem, they’re always there to help or at least cheer you up? On the other hand, maybe you also know someone who only brings negativity to your life. Someone who makes fun of you whenever you make a mistake or guilt trip you into giving them favors. Imagine you are going to recommend one of them for a raise or promotion. Most likely, you’ll recommend the good friend and not the bully. Well if you want to get good karma and be given more good opportunities in life, you’ll have to be the good friend to everyone.

Whether it’s for your business, career, or your friends and family, getting people to like us is a skill we need to succeed and have excellent relationships. Unfortunately, too many people try to force it with flattery and manipulation. If you want to make people like you, then you need to do it the right way: through kindness and goodwill. These are the five lessons you need to learn now.

May kaibigan o kakilala ka ba na natutuwa kang makasama dahil mabuti ang pagtrato nila sa iyo? May kakilala ka naman ba na kinaaayawan mo dahil nilalait nila palagi ang mga ginagawa mo? Nagugustuhan mo bang suportahan ang una at iniiwasan mo naman ba yung isa? Para sa marami sa atin, ang kalidad ng ating buhay at kung gusto nating magtagumpay at hindi mabigo sa ating careers ay nakabase sa kung gaano tayo kagaling magbuo at mag-alaga ng ating mga pagkakaugnay sa iba. Para matutunan ang mga kakayahang iyon, ang unang tatlong aral mula sa How to Win Friends and Influence People ni Dale Carnegie ay napakahalaga.

Sabi nga, ang repetisyon ay ang susi ng karunungan at galing. Dahil ito’y isang classic na self-help book, malamang nabasa mo na ito dati pero hindi mo pa narereview. Marami na tayong narating mula sa panahon nina Dale Carnegie at ang ilang leader kagaya nina John Maxwell, Stephen Covey, Brian Tracy, at marami pang iba ay nagturo na ng mga aral na dumagdag at nagpabuti pa sa mga naituro nito (at isinama ko rin sila dito dahil mahalaga ang mga ito sa lesson), ngunit ang classic na librong isinulat niya ay isa pa rin sa pinakamabuti. Kung gusto mong maalala ang ilan sa mga basics, ituloy mo lang ang pagbabasa!

Note: Mabuti nang bilihin at basahin mo ang buong libro gamit ang affiliate link sa ibaba para matutunan mo ang buong lesson. Sabi nga nila, walang tatalo sa orihinal! [Read more…]

Will people help you succeed? Essential People Skills from Dale Carnegie

Do you have a friend or colleague that you enjoy hanging out with because they treat you well? Do you know an acquaintance whom you dislike because they keep criticizing everything you do? Do you enjoy supporting the former while actively avoid the latter? For most of us the quality of our lives and the success or failure of our careers will depend on how good we are at building and maintaining relationships. For learning those essential skills, the first three lessons in Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People are especially valuable.

They say repetition is the key to mastery. As a classic self-improvement book, you may have read it yourself at one point in your life but have not had the time to review it. We’ve gone a long way since Dale Carnegie’s time and many leaders like John Maxwell, Stephen Covey, Brian Tracy and several others have taught lessons that adds and builds on what he taught (and I’ve included some of them here as they’re crucial for improving the lesson), but his classic still stands as one of the best. If you want a quickly remember some of the basics, then keep reading this article!

Note: I also suggest buying and reading the book through the affiliate image link below to learn the complete lesson. As they say, nothing beats the original!
