George Saunders and David Foster Wallace mention the importance of being kind to one another and the steps necessary in graduation speeches. Both writers state that acting in kindness, ultimately leads to new freedoms and creates an enlightened human being.

The first main point of this chapter is to teach us how to respect others after their points are made. It is a very important part of a discussion to restate what someone else has said before you give your ideas. Linking the two together

The third principal is: Be here, prepared to be nowhere else. We must recognize that humans share universal longing to be known and being known, to be loved. When our conversations with others disregard this core need, nothing changes. Only when we genuinely see the people who are important to us can we hope to succeed as agents of positive change (p. 91). We must transform the way we speak, the way we ask, and the way we listen. The secret rule through all these steps is to questions only. No advice or declarative statements. If you

1.2 describe how to treat other people in a way that is sensitive to their needs

No man of business drew more attention than the king of steel, Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie grew up very poor in Scotland and immigrated to the United States. He worked very hard in Pittsburgh and became one of the three people in the country that could decode telegraph messages by ear. Later in England, Carnegie saw Henry Bessemer develop steel and decided to build a steel mill in America. Many thought Carnegie was a hero in America. A few traits that represent a hero could be integrity, a concern for others, and charisma. Some people may think that Carnegie only spent his wealth on himself but he actually donated to cities to better society. He donated money to build a library in Pittsburgh and donated to Scotland. Andrew Carnegie was a hero because he had a concern for others and he achieved financial success.

It is important to build positive relationships with children, young people and adults not just within a learning environment but within any social setting, as this forms strong interactive social skills throughout their lives. Children will build from the skills we show them because as adults we are their role models. You should always take into account how you approach someone and respond to them as this will determine how they respond to you. Everyone must be given opportunities to establish trust and to feel at ease.

The first principle is being in the moment. Being in the moment means an individual must focus all his/her attention on the other individual in order to be fully present, physically engaged, curious without judging and self-aware. This concept disengages us from being on “autopilot” and enables us to communicate effectively by being mentally and physically present, being unbiased, making positive choices and maintaining relationships with others. Furthermore, it develops great communication skills by minimizing miscommunication and generating appropriate responses and behaviors. This element is crucial in my leadership goal because as an individual, who enjoys multitasking,

What characteristics should a person have to be called hero? Andrew Carnegie was born into a poor family in 1835 in Scotland worked his way up the railroad industry, he eventually became the supervisor of the Pennsy's entire western division. He was earning about $1500. A kid that from that super poor family to the very rich person in just 30 years. By the time he was super rich he made a good decision by giving away all his money for the sake of good for the people and putting a lot of funds to different organizations. Although giving his money for the sake of good that does not mean that he is a hero.

Good intentions can be found from the worst situations as well as the best. For example, when a guy gets caught stealing thousands of dollars from the company for his wife’s medical bills. A good intention was found from the bad situation. Principle five is the last principle. The principle states "Acknowledge the greatness within me”. This principle was Harry’s final exam to pass his discretion and be able live. The principle teaches individuals to find the great traits within the people you may not favor. Managers have to deal with employees and coworkers daily. Making an effort to acknowledge the greatness within them will go a long way. These five principles are great to incorporate into management or as an individual in everyday life. Stress levels will be kept down and relationships will build practicing these principles on a day to day basis. My senior year in high school I was editor in chief of a yearbook staff. I managed a staff of 14 ladies. These ladies had very diverse personalities. From cheer captain to theater techy. I found the greatness within each individual lady and learned what they favored. From each lady I listened to what they had to

Stand Out 1.Keep good relationships with everyone. Dont burn bridges. Having good relationships with everyone you meet is a key ingredient in a good life. In the book Henrietta Lacks the science world burn their trust with society when they repeatedly lied to them.

Next, you have to be respectful to one another. Help others to be someone good and you have to give them the power of courage. Encourage one another don’t be a rude friend. Because in the future,

You should always treat someone with respect if you want respect from them. Always be honest even when it’s hard to. Chivalry is important because you should always be loyal, respect, and honest. Sentence 1: Introduce value A from 1st paragraph. When someone in your family is in trouble you help them out.

A hen has to lay eggs, a cow has to give milk, a canary has to sing, but a dog makes his living by giving nothing but love.?---Dale Carnegie) Dogs are man?s best friend for this reason, they never criticize or complain, they are always affectionate and enthused. The next principle is not to speak about yourself or your own accomplishments. People do not care about others successes they feel threatened. Get people to talk about themselves, this will help you attain a sense of interest and admiration that will aid you in dealing with people. ( ? you can get more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years trying to make them interested in you.? ----Dale Carnegie) The second principle in this section of the book is the power of the smile. The smile can do wonders for you. A smile says that you are happy to see someone, and that these people make you feel good. Actions speak louder than words and are more effective. Another important thing dealing with getting people to like you is recognition of their uniqueness. You can achieve this by simply using the person?s name. People like to hear their own names; to them it is the best sound in the world. Most people do not realize it but by just remembering a person?s first same you are actually paying them a compliment. A person?s name sets them apart from everyone else, it makes them feel unique. The fourth principle requires you to listen. Listening to people makes

The second section in John C. Maxwell’s book, Winning with People, focuses on the question of connection and begins with this lead question: ‘Are we willing to focus on others?’ The theme of the chapter is the importance of connecting with other people and becoming a person that others want to be around. In order to make these connections possible, Maxwell challenges the reader to understand and follow certain time-tested principles. The Big Picture Principle asks “Do I have a hard time putting others first?” and lays the foundation for understanding that we are not the center of the universe, and everything is not about us.

     Also, “remember that a person’s name is the sweetest and most important sound in any language.” This is an area that I know I could use improvement on. I am not good with names at all, but I can honestly say that I am making an honest effort to get better at it by repeating a person’s name in my head when I meet them and associating that name
