The power of words is illustrated in this motivational and inspirational short 2 minute video below which shows just how the appropriate choice of words can radically change the outcome. As shown in the video, a blind man has a sign that says:

“I’m blind, please help”

and is begging for money. Watch what happens when a bystander comes and re-writes his sign.

In our daily lives, we have learned to say “no”, and “your wrong”, both which typically illicit a negative reaction. What if the next time you want to say “your wrong”, you substitute it with an expression stated in a positive tone.

You’ll be surprised at the difference a change of words can have on the other person feel.
