During World War II, when people were hungry for meat, and meat was scarce, the butcher became the most popular man in the community.

Yet, every day of your life the people with whom you come into contact are hungry and thirsty for food that you could give them.

One of the most universal hungers is the hunger to feel important, to have your personal worth as a human being confirmed by others, to be appriciated, to be noticed.

It is within your power to add to the feeling of personal worth of the other person. It is within your power to make him like himself a little better. It is within your power to make him feel appricaited and accepted. 

In short, you have the bread to feed this human hunger.

Try giving away your wealth

The quickest way to improve your human relations is to begin giving away this wealth that you possess. Don’t be stingy with it. Don’t dole it out. Don’t play any favorites. It doesn’t cost you anything, and you need not fear you’ll ever use it all up. Don’t try to barter or bargain with it. Don’t try to use it to bribe people into giving you what you want. Give it away indiscriminately; in doing so, you need not worry about getting what you want from others. But when you cast this bread upon the waters, so to speak , it always comes back to you multiplied many fold.

Everything is created twice. What you have running in the programming of your mind eventually manifests itself in the outer world.

So if you want to change your outer world, you must first change your internal mental programming. When you try to change the external world first, it’s like trying to change the picture on a TV screen by rubbing that picture with a cloth. You can rub, and rub, and rub – but it’s futile, baby.

However… when you change your mental programming – who you are thinking you are and what you are thinking you deserve - you find the world around you changes simultaneously.
