1.Words are living things,the very bodies in which ideas and emotions become materialized.Once an idea or an emotions has been put into words,it acquires infinitely more strength and persuasiveness than it possessed before.It is now a thing than can be spoken and heard and visualized in imagination.By the power of the word,to an extraordinary extent,we can influence what happens to our lives.
There is a famous old story about an optimist and a pessimist.A half-tumbler of water was placed before them for their inspection,and they were asked to describe what they saw.
" I see," said the optimist cheerfully," a glass that is half full." "I see,"said the pessimist with a heavy sigh," a glass that is half empty."
There could hardly be a better example of the power of words,and of how-choice can come to colour our whole mood and outlook."full" is a grand word,but "empty" is a lean,lonely word.If we say often enough how full things are,we grow more and more into a fullness of our own.If we say often enough how empty things are,we can make our life-adventure an emptiness indeed.
