WE ARE OUR WORDS
Soft words sung in a lullaby will put a
babe to sleep. Excited words will stir a mob to violence. Eloquent words will
send armies marching into the face of death. Encouraging words will fan to
flame the genius of a Rembrandt or a Lincoln. Powerful words will mold the
public mind as the sculptor molds his clay. Words, spoken or written, are a
dynamic force.
Words are the swords we use in our
battle for success and happiness. How others react toward us depends, in a
large measure, upon the words we speak to them. Life is a great whispering
gallery that sends back echoes of the words we send out! Our words live beyond
us. They go marching through the years in the lives of all those with whom we
come in contact.
What we say and how we say it, makes a difference.
Taking control of our conversation is so important.
