The Wisdom of Showing Concerns towards others in How to Win Friendsand Influence PeopleAbstractSince the publication of his first book How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936, Dale Carnegie has touched millions of readers and his classic works continues to impact lives to this day. It can be seen clearly that Carnegie fully expresses some skills in handling people, making people to like us by showing concerns towards others. It provides some hints for modern individuals in their development of rapport and communication skills.Key Words：communication skills , Carnegie , others ,concerns1. IntroductionDale Carnegie (1888-1955) was a pioneer of the self-improvement genre. The book How to Win Friends and Influence People is the classic book about rapport and communication skills. Well interpersonal relationship will minimize the effort required to have work completed. There is no doubt that developing the rapport with others is a crucial part of our daily life and it will benefit us in various aspects. There is a perfect combination of vivid examples and concise words in Carnegie’s suggestion of communication skills. Among these communication skills, many are relevant to showing concerns to others. The value of showing concerns towards others is worthy of exploring.2. The Wisdom of showing concerns to othersShowing concerns to others plays a crucial role in learning how to make people like you and win people over to your way of thinking.2.1 make people like youAlmost everyone desires to be welcomed everywhere. However, it is very difficult for one to make it come true when he spares no efforts in getting other people interested in him. In Carnegie’s view, “You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other peopleinterested in you”(Carnegie59) Psychologically, human being are self-centered by nature. So becoming genuinely interested in others will fulfill this kind of needs of other persons. The happiness and sense of fulfillment derived from it is obviously clear. Paying more attention to others not only helps us to win friends, but also to some aspect helps the receivers. To assume that when we are frustrated and lonely, a warmth and tenderness from others will somewhat be comforting.Carnegie also emphasizes the importance of being a good listener. He suggests us to encourage others to talk about them. As we all know, an interesting conversationalist can always draw our attention. Carnegie holds the view that “if you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener.”(Carnegie94)Sometimes a good listener is equal to an interesting conversationalist. We all dislike those who talk only of themselves or like to interrupt other’s conversation. In contrast, we are willing to make friends with those who can always be attentive and sympathetic listeners. As the Reader’s Digest once said: “Many persons call a doctor when all they want is an audience,”It is not uncommon that what we all want when we are in trouble is merely a friendly, sympathetic listener to whom we could unburden ourselves.2.2 Win people over to your way of thinkingOne of Carnegie’s advice on win people over to you way of thinking is “show respect for the other person's opinion, never say, 'you are wrong.' ” (Carnegie127)Not even the most distinguished person can be right all the time. As to common people, we can’t be sure of being right even 55 percent of the time. In this situation, why should we tell other people they are wrong? By telling others they are wrong, we have struck a direct blow at their intelligence, judgment, pride and self-respect. That will make them want to strike back. But it will never alter their opinions, for we have hurt their feelings.“The little word“my” is the most important one in human affair, and properly to reckon with it is the beginning of wisdom.”(Carnegie120) We should liberate ourselves from theself-concerned thinking pattern. Showing more respect to others opinion and taking their feeling into consideration will win more agreement than argument.What’s more, we should “Try honestly to see things from the other person’s point of view.”(Carnegie163)Seeing things through another person’s eyes may ease tensions when interpersonal problems become overwhelming. One of my friends once complained to me about her roommates. On her birthday, her roommates sent her a Green Tea cake which is always the last choice of her. She thought that they intentionally made her awkward. However, I think neither my friend nor her roommates have stood in other’s place to think question. Her roommates just chose the flavor of cake according to their own. and accidently got the unsuitable one. If my friend had seen this through her roommates’ eyes, she would not care about this trivial thing. For the sake of winning people to think in our way, we can by no means lose sight of their view.3. ConclusionTo sum up, showing concerns to others is of great importance. It can not only help us to win more friends but also win people over to our way of thinking. If we can keep this in mind, we can build a much more harmonious rapport.Dale Carnegie ．How to Win Friends and Influence People．Simon & Schuster．2010。
抓住人性的弱点英语作文Title: Exploiting Human Frailties。
Human nature is a complex interplay of strengths and weaknesses, virtues, and vices. Among these, our vulnerabilities stand out as particularly exploitable. Understanding and exploiting these weaknesses has been apart of human interaction since time immemorial. In this essay, we delve into some of the most prominent humanfrailties and how they can be manipulated.One of the most pervasive weaknesses in human nature is the desire for validation and acceptance. We all crave approval from others, seeking reassurance that we arevalued and esteemed. This need for validation can be exploited by individuals or groups who understand its power. Whether it's through flattery, manipulation of social norms, or leveraging insecurities, those who recognize this vulnerability can exert significant influence over others.Another common frailty is the fear of uncertainty and the unknown. Humans are creatures of habit, seekingstability and predictability in an inherently chaotic world. This fear of uncertainty can be exploited by offering false promises of security or by instilling fear of potential risks. Advertisers, politicians, and even religious leaders often capitalize on this fear to sway opinions or gain followers.Furthermore, the innate desire for pleasure and avoidance of pain is a fundamental aspect of human nature. This drive can be manipulated through various means, suchas addictive substances, instant gratification, or the promise of fleeting pleasures. By tapping into these primal urges, individuals or organizations can exert control over others, leading them down paths they might otherwise avoid.Additionally, the susceptibility to cognitive biasesand heuristics makes humans prone to manipulation. Whetherit's confirmation bias, availability heuristic, or social proof, our minds often take shortcuts that can be exploited by those with ulterior motives. By crafting persuasivenarratives or selectively presenting information, manipulators can influence decision-making and behavior without the target's conscious awareness.Moreover, the phenomenon of conformity underscores our tendency to align our beliefs and behaviors with those of the majority. This desire to fit in and avoid social rejection can be leveraged to manipulate individuals into adopting certain attitudes or actions. Cults, extremist groups, and even marketing campaigns often exploit this human frailty to recruit followers or sell products.In conclusion, human nature is rife withvulnerabilities that can be exploited for various purposes. From the need for validation and security to the pursuit of pleasure and the susceptibility to cognitive biases, there are numerous avenues through which individuals or groups can manipulate others. By understanding these frailties and their underlying mechanisms, we can better guard ourselves against manipulation and strive for a more informed and autonomous existence.。
《人性的弱点》片段Or, take the Teapot Dome oil scandal. It kept the newspapers ringing with indignation in the early 1920s. It rocked the nation! Within the memory of living men, nothing like it had ever happened before in American public life. Here are the bare facts of the scandal: Albert B.Fall, secretary of interior in Harding’s cabinet, was entrusted with the leasing of government oil reserves at Elk Hill and Teapot Dome - oil reserves that had been set aside for the future use of the navy. Did secretary Fall permit competitive bidding? No sir. He handed the fat, juicy contract outright to his friend Edward L.Doheny. And what did Doheny do? He gave Secretary Fall what he was pleased to call a “loan” of one hundred thousand dollars. Then, in a high - handed manner, Secretary Fall ordered United States Marines into the district to drive off competitors whose adjacent wells were sapping oil out of the Elk Hill reserves. These competitors, driven off their ground at the end of guns and bayonets, rushed into court - and blew the lid off the Teapot Dome scandal. A stench arose so vile that it ruined the Harding Administration, nauseated an entire nation, threatened to wreck the Republican party, and put Albert B.Fall behind prison bars.翻译：或者，拿茶壶顶油丑闻。
