Good morning.

And welcome to morning cereal

Okay, good morning again

and welcome to Wednesday.

And as you might recall, we're off this

week, but not to worry,

I'm not going to leave

you without the proper

dose of morning cereal.

It's part of your

daily balanced nutrition.

Plus, I just like to say,

"Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike.

Hey, Mike, what day is it?"

Well, here's a quote to get your day

going in a positive direction.

It's from Eleanor Roosevelt who said,

"With the new day comes new

strength and new thoughts."

Well, we've been reading through Dale

Carnegie's "How to Win

Friends and Influence People,"

and right now we're still

in part four of the book.

But let's take a quick look back at part

three, which was

entitled, "How to Win People

to Your Way of Thinking."

And here are the first six principles of

Dale's 12 principles from this section.

Now principle number one was, "The only

way to get the best of

an argument is to avoid

it."

Number two, show respect for

the other person's opinions.

Never say, "You are wrong."

Number three, if you are wrong, admit it

quickly and emphatically.

Number four, begin in a friendly way.

Number five, get the other person saying,

"Yes, yes, immediately."

And principle number six, let the other

person do a great deal of the talking.

So we'll be back with regular programming

on next Monday, but

I'll pour another small

bowl of morning cereal and have it ready

for you again tomorrow morning.

Have a fantastic day.
