"Many frustrated parents could ease their situations by using language which paints pictures of the desired result in their children's mind. Then 'Dont scream!' becomes 'Please be quiet' and 'Dont spill the spaghetti on your best shirt' becomes 'Be careful when you eat.' These differences may seem subtle but they are very very important." Being Happy, page 57.
Being victim and probably the predator myself, i recognise the power of words or language. We may think nothing of it but it does have tremendous effect on the person you spill on words on.. One thing i learned from Anthony Robbins is that he emphasis on the use of positive words. Like if you wanted to say 'i'm angry'. Try saying 'I'm not happy.' Change the keyword or noun to something positive. This little change in behavior or pattern will have great downstream impact to your life and others around you. Try it! ;-)
