Words have immeasurble powers

I read about Marie Callas talking about the power of words.

They are powerful. Don't you think so?

Words can shape histories. Dynasties and kingdoms were destroyed and created because of words. Good or ills, words are responsible for shaping them.

Personally I have experienced the powers of the negative words having great effects in my life. Someone told me off very negatively when I was rather young and his words have stuck in my minds like a leech and followed me throughout my growing years.

That is why being a parent now, I really have to be careful with words. You never know that a sincere reprimand could resonate badly in the mind of your kids and they grow to detest you or suffering low confidence because of your words.

Sometimes I find that brief positive words delivered in a short span of time with impact and emotions and verve can sometimes effect positive.

That's what we all should be doing.
