What would be the most difficult technique in “How to Win Friends and Influence People”? to follow? And why? Well I have been given many choices of techniques, but I think the most difficult one would be two things. If you are wrong admit it quickly and make a friend out the the person your trying to do stuff with. There are not many choices because they are mostly easy, but these two are the hardest in my opinion.

I know that everyone was wrong some point in their lives and they still are but admitting that your is hard for many people because their prideful. Let’s say that your trying to sell somebody an idem. You tell them how great it is and you lie about some stuff. There are two outcomes. One you can keep lying so they will buy it and they might sue you or the other option is that you can tell them you were lying and say the true stuff about it. Then you might still get he or she to buy it.

It’s easier to sell someone something when they can trust you. You could be kind of shy and try to sell or you could make friends with people and sell them it when they trust you. Would it be easier to sell an idem to a stranger or your best friend. I’m not trying to discourage people just tell them easier ways if they are trying to sell something.

How serious was Plunkitt about patriotism’s connection to obtaining a job after Tammany won an election? First of all Plunkitt’s full name was George W. Plunkitt. He was born on November 17,1842. He was a politician from New York and he also served in “both houses of the New York State Legislature” Take a guess of what Tammany was. NOT A REAL PERSON!!! It was called Tammany Hall or also known as “The Society of St. Tammany, the Sons of St. Tammany, or the Columbian Order, was a New York City political organization founded in 1786 and incorporated on May 12, 1789, as the Tammany Society”. Plunkitt was in charge of Tammany Hall until he died on  November 19, 1924 which is surprisingly two days after his birthday.

Plunkitt was a very powerful man and here is why. No matter where he was in or out of office he tried to help people find jobs. Because he did this people stayed loyal to him and kept voting for him. That is how he got all of his power back then. He was a millionaire and one million dollars back then would be around $33,190,714.29 today! That is a lot of money. He got this money from gaining trust with other people Someone that could find jobs for everyone back then must have been In my opinion finding jobs for people would have been weird but an efficient way of getting trust from people.

Patriotism is supporting one’s country, but the country is not the land or the government it is really the people. Plunkitt though that supporting the people and helping them with stuff like finding jobs was the perfect way to help people no matter in or out of office. If he had an open spot to give someone he would find the perfect person and would find the perfect person for the job and give it to them. He was very creative to finding people jobs and people liked him for it.

To answer the beginning question about was he serious about people getting jobs the answer is yes. Yes he was very serious to finding jobs for people so they would vote for them and because he wanted people to have money for their families.

Well first of all you can’t have a long-term business relationship relationship without trust so trust is important even without business. If I had an employee I would keep my eye on him and get to know him before I could fully trust him. I’ve known all my friends most of my life, but if got an employee I wouldn’t know him that well. If I had an employer I would want him to trust me so I would be helpful and kind and trustworthy. You can only trust people if their trustworthy so first you need to earn their trust. I had to earn my friends trust and it’s the same with employers and employees.

Everywhere I am learning about trust and that is because trust is important. I wouldn’t just pick somebody off the street in my neighborhood, I would half to see them a few times before I stopped by and asked where they lived and drive them there. Trust is important everywhere.

First Booker T. Washington was a black man born into slavery. He made enough money to go to school for a little bit and after school he made his own school. He got a lot of money and soon he became rich and famous. Through all this work he made his point of view which is if African Americans make something that people need or if people can not live without something they make, that person should be treated fairly and be a part of society. In Booker T. Washington’s book “Up From Slavery” he quoted “The individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race” He also wanted all African American’s to be free from slavery and to be treated fairly in what they do.

The answer to the title of this paper is yes. I do agree that black people should be treated fairly in what they do and if they make something it shouldn’t be rejected it should be used. If I lived back then when slavery was happening and I was in charge of slavery I would release every slave and make them all free men. I’m sure that Booker T. Washington would agree with what I am writing down. I believe that his view of the future and my view of the future are the same, but all this does not mean that people not African American should be treated unfairly. I hope that all of you people who reads this paper can agree with me.

Let’s say that I read thirty minutes a day and two hundred words per minute. Somebody would have to persuade me that a spreeder would help me read faster at four hundred words per minute. I’m fine reading for half an hour a day but I would buy a spreeder for under twenty dollars. To persuade me somebody would probably have to get to know me for me to buy a spreeder.

A spreeder would help me get done with school faster and help me finish books that I’m reading for fun faster. I would buy a spreeder from my friends, but not from somebody who just randomly walked up to me. Persuading me can be hard, but for some people it could be possible. they would have to work a lot to persuade me. Don’t get any ideas to sell me something, it won’t work. I might buy a spreeder though to get done with school faster.

First what is an elitist program. An elitist is someone that is rich so an elitist program is when people are using a lot of money for things. My answer to this question in the tidal is no. Booker T. Washington was not rich but there were a lot of rich people helping him and he was a hard worker. Hard workers are better than rich people, but you can be both by getting rich by hard work. Washington became rich by generous donations and that made his school successful. Because Washington was a hard worker he taught the kids to be hard workers too.

Let’s say that I own a egg laying chicken business that makes eight hundred a year with fifty chickens and two dollars a dozen and I want to sell my business. My first goal is to find someone that is responsible enough to take good care of animals while making money. If I can find one of those people I will sell him half of my chickens for about two hundred dollars. After that I will buy twenty meat chicken chicks. For a year while still making money with meat chickens I will fatten up my meat chickens and butcher them. I will sell one chicken for thirty dollars. From that I will have made six hundred dollars and more with my egg layers. To make my business bigger I will use my money to buy more egg and meat laying chickens. I will eat some of my meat chickens and eggs. You don’t need to work at big companies or stores to make a lot of money. Small businesses can earn you just about the same amount of money as you would working for a big company. All you need to do is a lot harder work than you would as a cashier.

One of the parts I remember from Washington’s book is when he was a kid looking to earn some money. He saw the captain of a ship and his crew unloading some cerates so he went and asked if he could help them unload and in return a descent meal. The captain was pleased with Washington’s work and asked Washington if he could help him for a few more days. Washington accepted and with the money he earned bought a meal. He described it as the best meal of his childhood. After a few days Washington went off with the money he earned to school.

Another part I remember from the book is when Washington is trying to get into school. The woman who he is talking with told him to clean a room. Washington swept, and dusted, and cleaned laundry multiple times each! When the woman went in the room she could not find one speck of dust and so she told him that he could join school and if he was janitor cleaning could be half of his payment. He gladly accepted. Washington was so good at cleaning because where he came from he and a few other slaves were taught to clean.

One of the more sudden parts I remember from the book was when Washington was starting a school. He had to pay a few thousand dollars for a house and property to farm. He sent a letter to a friend and his friend sent him back a lot of money. To pay for the rest of the land he and his students made a bake sale and asked for donations. their first animal donation was a blind horse. In five months they made five hundred dollars! Once an old woman came to them and said that she had no money, but she gave them six eggs which were her savings. A big surprise that happened for me and them was that two old women sent them six thousand dollars for every year from twelve to fourteen years!

These are the three stories that I remember the most from Washington’s book. In all of these stories Washington was being diligent. It might of been because he was a hard worker for his master as a kid or because he knew what his goal was and worked toward it, but I think it was because God put it in his heart to do it. Work in your life to be diligent and your life will go better for you.

Three time-allocation changes that could increase my productivity the most are making a wake-up schedule, making a school schedule, and making a free time schedule. A wake-up schedule cold help me all day because if I wake up early I can plan the way I am going to do the stuff that day by making schedules. I could get school done quicker, get chores done quicker, and that will get me more play time.

By making a school schedule I get done with school way quicker. I eat lunch at noon so if I wanted to get school done before I eat lunch I could set my alarm clock for seven thirty, wake up, eat breakfast, then start school at eight and finish early. A wake-up schedule could help a lot in this because if I wake up early I can get school done quicker.

If I make a free time schedule that means I could get more or less time to play, it depends. If I got school done before noon that means I could have more time to play. I could also work on cleaning the house and make things. A wake-up schedule means that you could get done with school quicker which means that you can have more time doing what you love to do.

Washington’s arguments against the slave system were that slavery was a bad system, ex-slaves were better off as free men but still struggled, ex-slaves needed work and a work ethic, and that ex-slaves needed far better education. First that slavery was a bad system. Washington thought that slavery was a bad system because he thought that slaves should be free and have good work and good houses to live in. I agree fully with Washington, but in my point of view of what he said slaves should have a right of to what they choose to do and have work of their own. Slavery is also a bad system because the slaves were punished sometimes even just for the fun of it. That is wrong.

Slaves are better off free, but they still struggle. Slaves are better off free because they aren’t punished, they don’t have to work so hard every day, and they get the sleep they need. Although they aren’t treated like other people outside of the property and they don’t get jobs that easily unless they go up north. If I could of been in charge of all slavery back then I would free all the slaves and let them live good lives. The slaves deserved good lives and good people helping them.

Slaves need a good job and a good job ethic. Slaves when they were slaves worked well and hard diligently. They need good work to get money so they can get food to eat. Without money or at least a permanent home someone’s life can be horrible. I would of given slaves good work and good money back then. Slaves also needed school to learn to do stuff like to read, to make a job, and learn math to count money. I hope you agree with me.
