Each word contains letters in ascending order, the first with only one and the last with ten. Out of the ten words, six are considered to be of value to us while the rest are best avoided.
We are aware that words have the power to either build or destroy. Words once uttered cannot be taken back and hurtful words damage and destroy. No amount of apologies will ever repair the damage.
On the other hand, encouraging words that build can make a difference to someone’s life.
The first word is “I” and the email indicated that this word is the most selfish and should be avoided. It rings true as how many people like to listen to someone whose sentences always begin with “I” ?
The second word, “we” is considered most satisfying as it connotes many things, not least the idea of togetherness, being a team, etc.
The third word is “ego”, which is considered to be “poisonous”. We are a advised to overcome it. Ego has led one too many to one’s downfall.
The fourth is “love” which Is considered to be most used and should be valued. This needs no elaboration for love works wonders.
The fifth is “smile” which is said to be most pleasing and we should keep it. Smiles are very becoming and often lead to friendships. Smiles light up a person’s face and make a great difference.
The sixth word is “rumour” , said to be the fastest spreading 6 letter word and we are told to ignore it. How many times has a rumour spread so swiftly that it has caused harm even though it is later proven to be unfounded?
The seventh word is “Success”, the hardest working seven letter word. We are advised to achieve it. Success is only achieved by dint of hard work and there is no short cut to it.
The eighth word is “jealousy”, and we are told to distance ourselves from it. It is also referred to as the green-eyed monster that consumes one’s well-being and many a relationship is destroyed by this monster.
The ninth word is “Knowledge”, the most powerful 9-letter word and we should acquire it. No one can take the knowledge you have acquired, away from you and it is well-known that “Knowledge is Power”.
The tenth word si “friendship”, the most valued 10-letter word. We are told to maintain it. Friends, especially your close friends stand by you and support you in times of need. They are an invaluable network so maintain friendships and nurture them.
So what is your view? Do you agree that these are the most powerful words and would you accept the advice that came along with them?
