The book's chapters are involved of how to handle people, how to be a successful leader, and how to win people to your way of thinking. The preface provides several ideas and suggestions that will help the reader get the most out of the book. The author suggests that the reader keep an open mind, and also suggest some other reading materials that will also help. The first chapter deals with how to handle people successfully. In this chapter it highlights one of the most important things you can do when dealing with people and their particular situation is to rationalize with them, meaning that to better understand were the person is coming from you must put yourself in their shoes. Everyone can and will rationalize why they make the decisions they make. People like the infamous Al Capone never thought he was a bad person. He had rationalized the actions he took and the decisions he made. This is a good example to lead into the first principle, which is that no one should ever critize, complain, or condemn other people. Principe two suggests that you always give people or sincere appreciation. You shouldn’t sit and think about your own individual accomplishments and successes, but compliment others on their successes. The...

...Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by a decrease in the density of bone, decreasing its strength and resulting in fragile bones. Osteoporosis literally leads to abnormally porous bone that is compressible, like a sponge. This disorder of the skeleton weakens the bone and results in frequent fractures breaks in the bones. Osteopenia is a condition of bone that is slightly less dense than normal bone but not to the degree of bone in osteoporosis. Normal bone is composed of protein, collagen, and calcium, all of which give bone its strength. Bones that are affected by osteoporosis can break fracture with relatively minor injury that normally would not cause a bone to fracture. The fracture can be either in the form of cracking as in a hip fracture or collapsing as in a compression fracture of the vertebrae of the spine. The spine, hips, ribs, and wrists are common areas of bone fractures from osteoporosis although osteoporosis-related fractures can occur in almost any skeletal bone. Osteoporosis can be present without any symptoms for decades because osteoporosis doesn't cause symptoms until bone fractures. Moreover, some osteoporotic fractures may escape detection for years when they do not cause symptoms. Therefore, patients may not be aware of their osteoporosis until they suffer a painful fracture. The symptom associated with osteoporotic fractures usually is pain; the location of the pain depends on the location of the fracture. The symptoms of osteoporosis in men are...

...The Dale Grey story starts in Denver, Colorado. In 1983 Dale started Grey & Associates with two weeks’ vacation pay (but no associates). Today, the company has evolved into Communication Services and employs over 100 people in six offices and is one of the top 20 companies in telecommunications infrastructure development. For 17 years now, Grey has enjoyed being an entrepreneur. A turning point came when, as a young man, Grey’s boss asked him to slow down his work production because he was outshining the other employees. Grey soon recognized a personal desire and a passion that he didn’t see in other people, and he decided that he needed to build his own company. Almost two decades later, he’s still excited to work in an environment that’s fun, challenging and profitable. Grey’s initial goal was to build a million-dollar company. After successfully attaining this goal, he and his employees held an off-site planning retreat to determine the company’s future goals and direction. Grey and his team considered a number of factors, including what the company was doing right, necessary changes, and the future of the industry. The group articulated and recorded a company vision and decided they wanted to be a 10-million dollar company by the year 2005 (which they accomplished early). Like most entrepreneurs, Grey initially shouldered all the workload himself. However, his proudest accomplishment is being just another member of the team. As the name of the company evolved from ‘Grey &...

...millionaire mindset club essential book summaries HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE by Dale Carnegie INTRODUCTION When Dale Carnegie first sat down to write How to Win Friends and Influence People he really didn’t realize exactly what a best seller it would be, nor did he realize that over 70 years later it would still be in print - and be acclaimed as ‘the best all time’ self-help book in the world. The book was first published in 1937 and was developed from the real life experiences of hundreds of people, rather than from just one person’s opinions. The idea for the book was brought about by the results of an investigation conducted by the Carnegie Foundation that was carried out to determine how people became financially successful. The investigation found that success took only fifteen percent of actual technical knowledge, and that the actual key to success rested on the other eighty five percent. This eighty five percent was identified as possessing skills in human engineering: the ability to get on with others well, your individual outlook and people skills. These results came as a shock to many at the time as these skills were not widely taught in courses or classes. A new concept had been discovered and a large hole emerged that needed to be filled by a new peopled-skilled class. This is how the Dale Carnegie Course In Effective Speaking and Human Relations was born – and the book a mere set of ideas on memo cards which were discussed and lectured on. These...

...NASCAR: Lessons Learned About Safety By Kai McLemore Columbia Southern University MOS 5101 Abstract The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) seems to always be a few steps behind when it comes to initiating safety practices. They wait until there is a reason in implementing a change. This paper covers the changes that has been mandated over the past decade and why these changes have occurred. Changes ere not just to the car but includes the whole NASCAR package. Changes were made to the car, the track, the driver’s gear, and pit road. Unfortunately, these changes were too late for some of NASCAR’s most legendary drivers, to include Dale Earnhardt. However, NASCAR officials have attempted to rectify their wrongs by ensuring the safety of the driver over the past 10 years. One can hope that they do not stop there and continue to look towards the future and they can continue to improve with the increase of changes to machine and man. The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) has been an exhilarating sport since the mid 1940s, and has thousands of spectators at each race cheering for their favorite driver. But then again, what other sport can be as exciting as watching an extremely super fast car that weighs approximately 3,400 pounds (Online NASCAR, 2010) bulleting around a track at speeds ranging close to 200 mph and merely inches from each other. Unfortunately, there are downsides to this sport which keeps every fan, spouse...

... Franklin not only helped shaped the country but he also helped shape American literature with such writings such as The Way to Wealth, The Gospel Preacher a Book of Twenty Sermons, a number of different essays, and of course his Autobiography. His Autobiography was more of a self help book than writings about his life. He wanted to stress to his son and other people that what they were is not who they would always be, if they take the proper steps and kept an open mind they could achieve great things. In his Autobiography Franklin stresses the point of self-improvement through education, good health habits, good work ethics, not being argumentative, and practiced frugality among other things. Franklin’s writings influenced writers like Dale Carnegie, Stephen Covey, and Anthony Robbins. Some writers like Thoreau thought his writings focused only on achieving wealth and never really appreciating the simpler things in life. Though Franklin does stress on the more frivolous things in life at times, he really only wanted for people to learn how to become all around better people. Franklin believed that education was everything. In order for out country to grow everyone, especially the youth, needed to expand their minds. He stressed education so much to his fellow Americans that he started a learning academy that is now known as The University of...

...use technology to communicate. Understanding what motivates people, how to foster teamwork and collaboration are fundamental needs of any organization. Do you know what "drives" employee engagement? Studies have shown that if an employee is dissatisfied with their immediate supervisor, there is an 80 percent chance that they are disengaged. This statistic reinforces the significance of building positive relationships in the workplace. Similarly, having a “caring” manager is one of the key elements to a positive and successful employee engagement strategy. Employees want to feel valued and have their manager take an interest in their personal lives, health and well-being. I referred to the Dale Carnegie operation for 3 reasons. • Warren Buffett, said in an interview that he values his Dale Carnegie Course certificate more than his university one and he has that on his...

...POCAHONTAS John Rolfe letter to sir Thomas Dale on his decision to marry Pocahontas who is the daughter of the governor( Powhantan). The letter was written on 18 June 1614. I found the letter in the internet on a website written by Jamestown. Rolfe was a pious man who agonized for many weeks over the decision to marry a heathen. He composed a long, laborious letter to governor Dale asking for permission to marry Pocahontas. The letter reflected Rolfe dilemma. The tone suggested it was intended mainly for official records, but at some point Rolfe bared his true feelings. He wrote “It is Pocahontas to whom my heart and best thoughts are and have been a long time so entangled , and enthralled in so intricate a labyrinth I unwind myself there out, let therefore this my well advised protestation condemn me herein if my chiefest intent and purpose be not to strive with all my powers of body and mind but with the desire of affection” .John is also kind to the indian because he wrote, “Shall I be of so untoward disposition as to refuse to lead the blind into the right way?, or give bread to the hungry?, or uncharitable as not to cover the naked?”. In 1613 the Indian princess Pocahontas was kidnapped by the Jamestown settlers. The colonist wished to trade Pocahontas for Englishmen and weapons captured by the Indians but the trade never occurred. Thereafter Pocahontas learned English and she converted to Christianity. John Rolfe met the Pocahontas after her conversion and fell in love...
