Dale CarnegieWhen dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures bristling with prejudice and motivated by pride and vanity.
About This Quote
When we deal with other people we often forget that we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We treat them as if they were reasonable and rational and the truth is that we don’t even really know why they do what they do. Our conversations are often about what they did, not about recognizing the reasons behind their actions. This quote reminds us of how important it is to understand our opponent’s frame of mind so that we can have successful dealings with them.
