Words are a powerful tool and are merely a powerful vehicle of expression that helps us to communicate our ideas and thoughts.
All languages are made of words, just like we are made of flesh and blood, words are the flesh and blood of all languages. Be it English, Spanish, Sanskrit or any other language all of them are made of words.
Imagine what this world would look like if we didn’t have language?
When used in the correct context and at the appropriate time, words can come to life.
Words can build and lift, comfort and calm, teach and inspire.
It has been said that on an average day a person will speak somewhere between 10 and 20,000 words. Which means we have tons of chances every day to say something positive or to say something negative, the choice is totally up to us.
We have to remember that the words we say reflect the person that we are, whether they are good or bad, they are reflecting what we think and feel on the inside to everyone observing on the outside.
Our words reflect our character.
They might make you think of a free-flowing river floating gleefully down a mountain or the beads of sweat on the fearful man’s forehead in a dark, lonely, haunted house. The luxury of word choice can be had if one continues to feed one’s mind with new ones, making our brain a repository of all kinds of words.
There are a variety of resources available to help you expand your vocabulary. Reading good literature of any kind is the most effective approach to sow the seeds of vocabulary in our minds, which will eventually blossom into a faultless word bank. Dictionaries, thesaurus, and social engagement are all common but effective techniques to expand one’s vocabulary.
Having a good vocabulary does not always imply utilizing long or difficult terms. Instead, it means that you understand how to communicate yourself so that the reader can comprehend what you’re saying. Good vocabulary is the glue that retains the reader’s interest while also transporting them to that faraway country.
So, don’t hold your breath and use those great words to express yourself.
Here’s to making the world a better place by the power of our words – both spoken and written!
