  6. Part 1 – Fundamental Techniques in Dealing with PeopleLessons from Abraham Lincoln • Abe Lincoln was once challenged to a duel to the death after a letter was published in which he ridiculed and criticized a fellow politician. The duel was stopped at the last minute, but Mr. Lincoln was forever changed by this event. From that point on in his life, Mr. Lincoln almost never criticized anybody for anything. (Carnegie, 1936, p.38) • Remember, “Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain---and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.” (Carnegie, 1936, p.42) • President Lincoln is historically known as Honest Abe – Let his face on the $5.00 bill be a reminder to you -- “give honest and sincere appreciation” to others. (Carnegie, 1936, p. 82)

  8. Part 1 – Fundamental Techniques in Dealing with PeopleUnderstanding What People WantCan you MAKE people do what YOU want? Consider this illustration… If you go fishing on the lake and you only thought about what you liked, perhaps you would bait your hook with steak and potatoes or strawberries and cream… BUT in order to catch a fish, you have to think about what the fish WANTS – and you will bait your hook with worms or lures in order to catch them! (Carnegie, 1936, p. 61) Understand people’s desires, wants and needs.
