Bramanti studies "How to Win Friends"

On the advice of state Rep. Bob E. Griggs (RINO - Ft. Worth), I flipped through How to Win Friends and Influence People. Here's the author's summary of Part Two of his work:

Six ways to make people like you

1. Become genuinely interested in other people.
2. Smile.
3. Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
4. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
5. Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
6. Make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely.

I would especially point Mr. Griggs to #4.
