When I think of a word or phrase that I would write about in my speech, I would love to write about “Words are powerful, so use them wisely”. Communication is a two-way path, you know. Responding and reacting to a circumstance with offensive language could bring an immediate end to peaceful efforts. You must have control, courage and integrity to express yourself in a constructive manner in tough circumstances. Unfortunately, feelings such as hate, distrust, frustration and anger can be expressed by language. Either words are written or spoken, we have the ability to damage and kill positive societies and friendships. Anything that you say while communicating has the power to impact and affect the lives of those who are around you. It’s your decision to use phrases that either motivate someone or damage them.  Last but not least, I think it is very important to remember that once you have said something, your comments cannot be deleted.
