【人性的弱点(英文版)】Wisdom and Peace

The English name of the book is "How to win friends and influence people". Compared with the translation in Chinese, it is more common and easier to understand. First publised in 1937, it is regarded as the grandfather of all people-skills books. Almost ten decades later, we can still find this book useful. Why? Because Dale Carnegie had a deep understanding of human nature that is almost the same over a thousand years.


The book is more than several rules and tips that help us deal with people, it also teach the reader how to read a book. Once you master how to read, the gate of success is no longer locked. What you need to do is come to that gate, open it and go to success. 

I think the most important thing Carnegie wants us to know is that we must have a deep, driving desire to learn. If you have the urge to be better, you will finally be betterwith all the work you did. But if you just stay in the same place and don't want to move on, nobody can help you.

The human nature topic reminds me of the sentence "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted". They are both easy to understand the basic meaning but hard to master the inside.

Here is the explaination: To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic. 

So I come to a conclusion: when you reach a higher level of life, what you say and what you think will be of more wisdom and peace.
