Gabriel’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for How To Win Friends and Influence People

How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

“Vicarious learning from the experiences of others saves making errors yourself, but I regard the study of successes as being basically more important than the study of failures. There are so many ways of being wrong and so few of being right, studying successes is more efficient.”
― Richard Hamming, The Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn

“We are pragmatists. We don't stick to any ideology. Does it work? Let's try it, and if it does work, fine, let's continue it. If it doesn't work, toss it out, try another one. We are not enamored with any ideology.”
― Lee Kuan Yew
