So here we are at the end of this core lesson on likeability and how to become a likeable person. And now it's time to answer the mystery question. Do you remember what that was? Let's revisit who is the greatest winner of friends. Dale Carnegie starts this section by describing the greatest winner friends the world has ever known. Let's look at that one more time.
He says, quote, unquote, you may meet him tomorrow coming down the street. If you stop, he will almost jump out of his skin to show you how much he likes you. And you know that behind the show of affection on his part, there are no ulterior motives. He doesn't want to sell you in a real estate and he doesn't want to marry you. He makes his living by giving you nothing but love. So who is the greatest winner of friends?
Did you guess it that it is a dog. Remember, you can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people. Then you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you. And that's what a dog does gives full attention to the person, unconditional love and genuine interest. So I have a little bit of homework for you pick one day during the next week. On that day, smile at someone new at least once every hour.
Make a note on how you felt at the end of the day. And if you notice that people acted differently around you, give it a try, you might find that your day is brighter, and the day of others is brighter too. And don't forget to become a teacher. Is there any one close to you, family or friends that you think could smile more? Is there anyone that you think could learn people's names better? Is there anyone you think could improve upon listening more than talking?
Tell them what you learned today about likability and spread the knowledge okay. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes this core section on likeability. And don't forget, if you get the chance, go out and buy this book Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. It's a fantastic read. And there's a lot more to it than just likability. Okay.
See you for the next core lesson. Talk to you soon.
