Words Have Meaning

You have heard me say several times that words have meanings.  That is obvious.  However, do you realize the power behind words?  This video proves it!  Let's take a look at it and I will let you decide.  My question for you is simple:  Is there a power in words? Can changing your words change your world?

There is a huge power in words. The lady changed his words and it changed the people’s attitude by giving more. Words have a big part on the way we live today on so many ways. It changes the way we think about things.

To me, yes, I think there is a power in words. Just by changing the words but keeping the same meaning, it can make a big difference. Just like the man in the video. The lady that walked by just changed the words around and put them in better words and by doing that, the blind man got more and more money.

Yes, I do believe words can change your world. Just by looking at this video it shows how the man is blind and that he can't see the beautiful days and the sun shining when we see it everyday. Words can change a person's day from being completely awful, to having a smile and glad to be alive.

That was very kind for her to go and rewrite what he wrote.It tells you that there are people out there that do care for people like that. While others threw money down this one lady came and changed his world for him. It just takes one person.

There is a big power in words. Sometimes saying something in a different way can be very helpful. So when you say somthing think about how or which way you say it.

I believe that there is power in words. Because what you say or write can determine how people react to what you said or wrote. In the video what she did was extraordinary.

Yes, there is a power in word. When the people walked by they must have thought he was lying but, when the young lady stop and change his words around he begin to receive more money. By her changing his words around I really think it touched alot of people’s hearts and that’s why they kept stopping and giving him money.

Words have power behind each and every single syllable. Simple words can change the entire sentence and even the context that is used. Life will forever be changed for this man for even though he cannot see, someone who could changed the wording to help him, and she didn’t want anything in return which makes the words that much more significant to the old, blind man. Everyday a simple "Hello" can change the outcome of some one else's life.

Yes, there is a lot of power in words. Just in the way you say a word can change someone's point of view of that subject. So never think you cant save or help someone by talking to them or telling them the right words.

There is definantly power in words. If words had no power than people wouldn't have hurt feelings, or worry about what others think. Words have the power to change the way we live life, and sometimes even take anothers life. So I think you should watch what you say unless it could benefit antoher person.

Yes I believes that words do have power. As you could see in the video there was not many people stopping to give money to the blind man but once that lady came by and changed the meaning of the words it made people realize that words can change anything, so yes i would say that words do have power.

That was very sweet what the young lady did for the old man. Just switching around the words can change things, make things better. Words help bring the man happiness. Thats what the lady did helped the man get more money. I thought it was sad at all the same time. I never really thought what words can do, but now I see.

Words are very power and mean a lot. It's not all the times what you say, it's how you say it. The lady increased the gentleman's profit just by changing the words on his sign; very, very powerful!!

Words mean the world to people. Always think before you talk, write, and especially text. Some words can make situations better or worse. It all deoends on which words you choose to use.
