How to Win More Friends and Influence with How You Say

It is not what you say but how you say that matters.

Instead of saying, “Trust me”, say, “You can see from our past records that we mean what we say”

Never say, “This is already very low price”, say “We prefer to focus on value. Tell me, what kind of results you want to get?”

Instead of saying, “Vote for me, give me your order”, say, “Can I count on you to help me in this matter?”

Never say, “You have to get this product with that machine”, say, “The best thing to do is to get this product with that machine to get more results”

Instead of saying, “Price,” or “cost”, say, “Amount” or “Investment”

Never argue with people, always agree with their objection and see a common point that can link to your argument. Instead of defending your product’s weakness, mention how despite of this weakness, your product has helped more people to solve their real problems.

Finally, instead of saying, “I know”, say, “That’s interesting, tell me more about it”. You’ll definitely will win more friends and more sales!

The 7 rules of communicating are as follows:

  1. Never ague with people, instead see their point and link them to your point and fund a common ground
  2. Don't use words that may have negative meaning, like price and cost
  3. Never instruct people, requests instead
  4. Don't push people to do what you want, attract them to do what you want. Like saying "The best thing for you is to do this" 
  5. Listen, that is more important than talking
  6. Be specific: instead of making promises on the future, use your past track record
  7. If in doubt, just be mindful of what you do.

What an Executive Coach and Business Coach Does

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
