Dale Carnegie wrote a book in 1936 that has outsold almost every book on earth for a reason.

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" revealed 10 habits that make people want to be around you.

1) A person's name is the sweetest sound they know Carnegie found that hearing your own name activates the brain differently than any other word.

It signals one thing: you are real to me.

Use it when you meet someone. Use it before you leave.

William Zinsser taught writing at Yale, then wrote the book that has fixed more bad writing than every English class combined.

Here are 10 cuts from "On Writing Well" that instantly make your writing twice as strong.

1) Delete every word doing no work Zinsser's first rule is the one that exposes every writer immediately.

Read your last sentence. Find every word that would leave the meaning unchanged if you removed it.

Those words are not neutral. They are actively making your writing worse. They force the reader to work harder for the same information. They dilute the words doing the actual work.

His test was brutal and simple. If a word is not earning its place, it does not get one.

Most first drafts cut by half. Most writers discover their ideas are cleaner than their sentences suggested.

A billionaire walked into a five-star hotel and asked for the cheapest room they had.

The receptionist blinked, confused.

“Sir, our presidential suite has a full city view…” He smiled and replied, “I’m sure it does. I’ll take the smallest room.”

The next morning, he ordered a €9 coffee from room service.

Then a €40 breakfast with fresh fruit and pastries.
