编者按: “在人类的天性中,最深层的本性就是渴望得到别人的重视。”请让我们重视我们的朋友,让友谊围绕着你、我、他。因此,希望大家能把这本书找来翻一翻,对照一下自身的所作所为,问一问自己:人性的弱点我都克服了吗?

As early as the middle of the 20th century, the economic and society was in bad situation, and the war was like the devil to destroy human’s pursuit(追求) of a better life. At the time, Carnegie, with his insight(洞察) into human nature, was trying to use a large number of ordinary people’s success stories to encourage people. His speeches and writings aroused(唤醒) the morale(斗志) of many men who were confused (困惑的) at that time, and encouraged them to create their own brilliant (辉煌的) success stories. Just as Mr. Carnegie ever said, “A person’s success only 15 percent is from his expertise(专业知识), 85 percent is from his expression of thought, ways of leading others and the ability to arouse the enthusiasm(热情) of others. ”

早在20世纪中叶,经济与社会动荡不安,战争恶魔正在磨灭人类追求美好生活的心灵时,卡耐基先生以他对人性的洞察,利用大量普通人不断努力取得成功的故事,通过他的演讲和著作唤起无数陷入迷茫的斗志者,激励他们取得辉煌的成功。正如卡耐基先生所言:“一个人的成功,只有15%归结于他的专业知识,还有85%归结于他表达思想、领导他人及唤起他人热情的能力。”
