Additional quotes by Dale Carnegie
استمعت وشاركت وراقبت أثر آلاف المجادلات , وخلصت الى ان هناك نتيجه واحدة فقط لكسب الجدل وهي ان تتجنبيه كليه . تجنبيه مثلما تتجنبين الثعابين والزلازل “.
“لا يمكنك كسب جدل , وحتى ان كسبتيه , فسوف تخسرين . لماذا ؟ لأنك حتى ان حملت شخصا على رفع رايه الاستسلام البيضاء فإن هذا لا يعني انك قد غيرت وجهه نظرة. وانما سوف تكونين فقط قد نجحت في انهاكه الى الحد الذي جعله عاجزا عن مواصله الحديث. جادلي وواصلي جدلك وسوف تترسخ حقيقتان لا ثالث لهما في نفس خصمك وهما انك مخطئه وبغيضه . انه نصر أجوف . حتى ان نجحت في اقتناصه لأنك لن تكسبي ابدا احترام الطرف الآخر” .
