It can hardly be reduced to rules; and your own good sense and observation will teach you more of it than I can. ” Do as you would be done by, is the surest method that I know of pleasing. Observe carefully what please you in others, and probably the same things in you will please others. If you are pleased with the complaisance and attention of others to your humors, your tastes, or your weaknesses, depend upon it, the same complaisance and attention on your part to theirs will equally please them. ;Letter to His Son Take the tone of company that you are in, and do not pretend to give it; be serious, gay, or even trifling, as you find the present humor of the company; this is an attention due from every individual to majority. Do not tell stories in company; there is nothing more tedious and disagreeable; if by chance you know a very short story, and exceedingly applicable to the present subject of conversation , tell it in as few words as possible; and even then ,throw out that you do not love to tell stories, but that the shortness of it tempted you.;致子书 亲爱的孩子： 讨人喜欢是一个人很有必要具备但又不易学到的一门艺术。很难将它简化成一些规则。你自己的正确判断力和观察力教给你的会比我教你的更多。据我所知，“己所不欲，勿施于人” 算是讨人喜欢的最可靠的办法．细心观察别人做的什么平取悦了你，我敢说很可能你做同样的事也会取悦他人。如果别人对你的幽默、爱好或是弱点表现得殷勤和关心能让你满心喜欢，那么可以肯定的是，你对别???同样殷勤和关心 也一定会使他们欢心。与人为伴时，需融入其中，切勿装模作样。发现同伴的幽默之处，就要真情流露，开怀一笑，甚至打趣一番，这是每个人对群体应留意的地方。在人前不要说瞎话，没有比这更让人乏味和不悦的事了。如果你刚好有个非常简短而又相当切题的故事，那就尽可能简明扼要地讲出来。即便如此，也要表示出你并不喜欢讲故事，只因它的简短才使你情不自禁这样做。;2.
