Dale Carnegie: Taking Chances

“The man who goes the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets from shore.”
- Dale Carnegie





In life you must be willing to take chances in order to achieve your goals. When taking chances, do so with conviction. Belief in yourself is a prerequisite to the leadership of others. People follow those they've come to respect. Here are some tips as to how to develop the skills of a leader:

• Be assertive when speaking with others, not aggressive
• Ask questions instead of giving direct orders
• Control the situations in your life instead of letting them control you
• Speak up on behalf of your ideas before someone else willingly does so for you
