Most excellent advice! I really like that you referred to Dale Carnegie's monumental work. Now there's a title that has stood the test of time. And I particularly like your point about "To make friends we need genuine dialogue". I am far from a communication expert, but I am constantly amazed by the lack of such in today's world. How many times have you seen someone staring at the TV or smartphone when you are trying to have a conversation? And even when you try, it seems so hard to find someone that is truly listening. Speaking for myself, I have found that I have begun to enjoy commenting and interacting on Steemit. It would be easy to do it just to earn some small payout, but then, what would be the fun in that? And, oh yes, that was my last point. I've been having fun commenting and reading the words of others. Imagine that...(I didn't).
