Hi language learners,
Language as we all know is used for communication, to get feedback, to transmit or express how one is feeling at a particular point in time e.t.c. we as humans are known to be expressive in nature and the most dominant way of letting it show is through the use of words which brings us back to the topic of the day; what do you use your language to do? Do you use language to break or make, encourage or discourage People?
Some persons have deviced a means to use their language as in words for good. In this context I will be using words to refer to language, for point of emphasis. They have decided to be a source of inspiration and motivation by writing words of wisdom from their experiences or experiences from others around them.These persons also write quotes that not only excites the readers but triggers them to do something, something positive, to take a step of action or cause a change in their behaviour. They also rewrite or copy quotes from other people and share to others, thereby spreading wisdom, peace, love, joy, hope...... etc.
It is a known fact through out history, that negative words or bad words has never done any person good. Like a saying that goes “two wrongs don't make it right” No matter how you coin a word as long as it has an iota of negativity in it, its effect will be destructive.To buttress my point let's look at the work of one of the greatest playwriter of the early17th century William Shakespeare. In one of his plays titled ‘Romeo and Juliet’ a very popular piece in which towords the end of the play. Romeo the male actor was misinformed of the plan of his beloved Juliet. Not knowing the true plan, seeing Juliet lying dead Killed himself to be with her in the afterlife. Now my point is this, if he was well informed he would have waited for the poison to fade off from Juliet and he would have been reunited with his beloved unknown to their familes. There are countless examples of how words were misused and caused serious damage that are recorded in the hands of time.
The effects of negative words can be highly devastating to a person. It could reduce once's ego and pride, reduce one's self esteem and also make one withdraw completely from socialising, thereby making you look like you are not smart, intelligent and Confident. But the truth is once spoken into the air or written down, it can never be taken back. Although, they say time heals, but the scares of the effect will always remain as a remindal to the person it occurred to. Somehow the person how said the words or wrote the words always seem to forget the damage he or she caused. Some may argue not in all cases but I say in most cases which might even birth revenge unknown to the person.
Even as an individual, what words/language do you find yourself using consciouly or unconsciously. Are there positive words that are constructive or negative words that are destructive to your progress in life. For this reason one has to mind the kind of things you listen, watch, read and companions you keep because they can mere you or make you better. To be successful in this world where everyone and anyone that can write and read has freedom of speech, should constantly engage in positive self talk or positive affirmations.
Let us therefore impact our world and immediate surroundings with good words, constructive comments on all social media interface, positive advice to family and friends. Instead of being known for notorious bad comments or being a useless minus to mankind with our words or language, let's all be a plus to humanity in our own small sphere of influence so when it is added up it becomes one giant addition of goods and positivity in the world. Thus, in this new year (2019) let us mind our words, language and trade carefully by being creators of goodness and positivity.
