The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale

I ran across this list from Norman Vincent Peale. It was published in the St. Albert the Great Church bulletin on June 22, 2008. And it reminded me of his book: The Power of Positive Thinking.

Ten Guidelines for Dealing with People

1. Learn to remember names. A person's name is very important to him or her.
2. Be a comfortable person so there is not strain in being around you.
3. Learn to be easygoing so things won't bother you.
4. Don't be egotistical; don't give the impression that you know it all.
5. Learn to be interesting so people will want to be with you and get something stimulating from you.
6. Get the "scratchy" elements out of your personality.
7. Drain off your grievances. Honestly try to heal every misunderstanding you have.
8. Work at liking people until you learn to do so naturally. Sure, everyone has faults; overlook them.
9. Never miss a chance to say "congratulations" or to give support at a difficult time.
10. Develop a spiritual depth in yourself so you have something to pass on to the people you know. Learn how to share this strength with others. Learn how to share this strength with others.
