Our Secret Weapons : Our Words

fairy tales

Words are weapons that we must wield with care. When the right word is used in the right context, by the right person and at the right time, the effect is that of a magical wand. Communication flows and a clear and effective message is given and received.

 

Words are powerful. Once written or spoken, they are perennial; ethched on a blank page or else within the realm of a person’s mind forever more. Words are beautiful too. A sentence is a necklace; its gems are the vowels and consonants that make a pretty arrangement and dance together in perfect harmony.

 

Words are emotional explosives. They can be fireworks in the night sky, illuminating the darkness with their colourful beauty. However, words can also be time-bombs ticking, ready to create mass destruction. Words can be the soothing mother, calming and reassuring at a time of need. Words can be the authoritative father, giving a lofty command that one is bound to follow. Words can be the charming seducer, uttered softly and accompanied by a charismatic smile.

 

Words can inform.

Words can teach.

Words can sell.

Words can entertain.

Words can console.

Words can express love.

Words can divide.

Words can unite.

 

Choose your words with care. They leave an invisible imprint on a person’s soul.
