‘A gentle word sends the sword back into the scabbard’ (Nigeria-Igbo)
Yes, our ancestors believe that soft words are usually magical. Do you know that the words you speak have the tendency to make you or destroy you? The greatest victory in the world is not determined by the thrusting of your sword, the triggers that you pull, the missile that you drop or the weight of your fist, but it is by the gentle words that you speak.
A gentle word hurts no one, it isn’t irritating, provocative, pompous, lousy, rude or abusive. It is practically gentle. You can’t fake it; if it isn’t gentle, it can never be spoken gently.
Today; if you want to win big in whatever you do, try using the gentle word approach. You would be surprised with the magical effect that this approach would have on the people that you relate with. Remember, don’t fake it, allow it to come freely and gently. Feel free to share your experience here. Have a great day!
