책덕후의 독서/언어 씹어먹기

We all have issues about relationship

I started to read the book 'How to win Friends and influence people' written by Dale Carnegie. I knew about other book written by Carnegie but I don't have any interest in this book so far. But recently I realized that we all have problem with relationship. In company, home, school etc. we met so many people in our life, and we couldn't avoid it. Even you don't have any friends, you have to catch the hearts of clients if you want to earn money. 

I never thought I have interested in these issues, but I heard from others recommendation of this book and I decided to read this book immediately. In other hand, I wondered why title use 'win' word. So I searched dictionary and found it. 

win : to make friendly or favorable to oneself or to one's cause - often used with over

 

ex) won him over with persuasive arguments

I also realized we should read the book in original language if we can. It makes me feel a lot. I learned lots of things to improve myself even small thing like this.
