One anecdote that sticks out to me was when i was a kid around 9-11 years old i use to have a horrible problem saying ” Pit ” instead of saying put. As a kid, you really don’t have great command of english let it alone can speak properly, at least in my world. As a child no one would correct me more than my dads ex fiancee to speak properly and to stop using pit incorrectly in a sentence when put was the appropriate word. That experience stands out the most for me as an anecdote because it showed how important speaking properly was very important in life. Speaking properly allows you to effectively communicate a point or want to a spouse, friend or a colleague so there isn’t any confusions. Ironically, i catch myself correcting my youngest who is 5 years old because he has a habit of saying pit like i did. I’m starting early with my boy because i know the importance of speaking properly but i’m not overbearing with it either. I’am very thankful for my dads fiancee being hard on me, it saved me from a lot situations i’m sure. A situation can turn left without being able to talk properly or saying a word incorrectly. The ability to have the knowledge and able to speak properly is POWER. That power can change the world, even change someone life from anything negatively they may been going through.
