Use Your Words

I read all the time as a child, and by that I mean every minute I wasn’t at school, doing chores or

homework, or sleeping, I had the cover of a book open. I developed a love of language that has

lasted me a lifetime.I notice that it brings joy to others when they hear an interesting or pretty

word. So try flipping through a dictionary every day and pick a word. Use this word at least once

in the same day. This will help expand your vocabulary and communicate better with others. If

you have a smartphone, download a free word-of-the-day app instead of using a dictionary.

Don't Interrupt When Others Are Talking

    We have become a nation of interrupters, as though what we have to say is more important than anyone else’s opinion or thoughts. Think before you speak. If a friend is confiding in you, consider if your words can truly help them. Many people interrupt or relate the problem back to themselves instead of thoughtfully responding to the person who is confiding in them. Reflect on what you have heard and then reply. This is not only basic manners but also means a lot to the person to whom you are listening. I guarantee you will start to notice when you are interrupted once you have stopped. Listening is an act of love.
