WORD POWER

Whoever made the statement that, 'Stick and stones can break my bones but words can't harm me' got it all wrong because there is enormous power in the words that we speak to others and most especially the words to speak to ourselves.If you think words don't mean anything then pay attention to these examples.
A twelve year old many years back boasted to all who cared to listen that he would be New York's most powerful gangster that turned out to be Alphonse 'Al' Capone popularly known as Scarface.
A twelve year old African-American boy promised his friends that he would be the greatest boxer ever, that boy turned out to be Muhammad Ali tagged as the 'World's Greatest'.
The principal of a told a sixteen year old that he would either end up in prison or become a millionaire, not surprisingly the words came to pass as the young man went to prison and is now a multi-billionaire who goes by the name Sir Richard Branson.
   The words we speak are loaded power because what we say is what we end up seeing that is why caution should be exercised because a teacher said to a young African-American boy in class that he would never amount to anything on March 9th, Christopher George Wallace was shot in the streets of Los Angeles by a unknown gunman from which he died in the hospital, Christopher is popularly known by his stage name Notorious B.I.G whose killer has never been found till today eighteen years after his death so much for his teacher's talk.
Only those who talk success eventually success and those who say nothing but failure end up as failures for our words have power to make or mar us. A little boy watched while the landlord forcefully ejected what remained of his father's property but vowed that he would make it in life, that boy is no other person than Pastor Sam Adeyemi, the Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Centre. What you keep saying to yourself over time you will eventually see so speak words of success ot yourself and be successful.
