Dale Carnegie was born in America in 1888. Raised in a poor farming family required him to do various ways to survive, from selling milk to selling soap. But behind the distress, the extraordinary characters possessed by Dale Carnegie began to form. In 1911, Dale Carnegie, who was almost bankrupt, got an idea to teach public speaking which was the forerunner of the Dale Carnegie Course. The interest of the American community in learning public speaking and increasing self-confidence made the Carnegie name soar. To this day the learning methods used by him are still applied in more than 80 countries through an organization called Dale Carnegie Training. On this occasion I would like to give a sharing about some of the extraordinary knowledge taught by Dale Carnegie through three quotes from him.

Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work or borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense: According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, to "plagiarize" means: to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own to use (another's production) without crediting the source to commit literary theft to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward. But can words and ideas really be stolen? According to U.S. law, the answer is yes. The expression of original ideas is considered intellectual property and is protected by copyright laws, just like original inventions. Almost all forms of expression fall under copyright protection as long as they are recorded in s...

Selama waktu itu Socrates (c.469-3998 SM), Plato (427-347 SM), dan Aristoteles (384-322 SM) mengajarkan murid mereka filsafat dan retorika. Retorika menurut Plato adalah "seni memenangkan jiwa oleh wacana." Demokrasi saat berkembang saat itu semua warga harus mampu berbicara dalam legislatif dan bersaksi di pengadilan.
