Power of Words
Words are ferocious beasts. Even if you only say it once, you can't take your words back. You can't ignore them either. No matter how unaware a person is of his/her self-inflicted limits, he/she will continue to use words. Words are alive and they have the power over our roles of lives. Finally, words do not only affect the one using them...
The above paragraph is some quotes (I edited a bit) I saw from animes. I believe many of you should have experiences with words. I will give a few examples below.
"2.4 km run sure cannot pass even if I train."
"I don't think I will do well for this subject. Just hope for the best."
"I don't think I will be able to understand this stuff no matter how many times I go through it."
Sounds familar? When someone starts moulding such thoughts into words, these words will become chains that tie the person down. I believe many of you (me inclusive) should have such experiences, getting yourself tied down by the chains you constructed before you even attempt something. However the power of words is not only restricted to obstructing your life. The usage of chains is not restricted to tying one down, they can also be used for connecting and tying things up. By looking forward and speaking positively, one can make a difference.
However, words do not only affect the one using them. Sound strange but true. Words from others may come in the form of advices which will have certain effects on your decision in life. Good luck to you if the advices are bad. Words from others may also come in the form of compliments or degrading remarks which will affect you either emotionally or physically, inspire you to greater height or condemn you to the darkest depth.
Finally, I will like to say that you are responsible of your own actions, whether you are the user of words or not; whether your words will affect yourself or others, or whether you allow yourself to be tied down by others people's words.
