Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words,

Be careful of your words, for your words become your action.

A very good morning to master tm and fellow tm…

Words are the most important tool to communicate. Words give an integral understanding to the
listener. Words can make someone and words can break someone too. The power of words is immense.
Even a worse situation can be handled if right words are used. Words once spoken cannot be taken
back. So we should be very careful about what we say and more importantly how you say it.

Words…

Wikipedia defines words as the smallest unit of meaning but to me words are
of course nothing but the most powerful drug used by mankind.

An old Buddhist master spoke to his students: "Tonight I would like to speak to
you about wise speech. According to the Buddha, wise speech is that which is
truthful, gentle, helpful, spoken from a kind heart and is timely." 

Then he spoke at great length about the harm that results from rude, mean
spirited, harsh or careless words. A young disciple said, "Venerable sir, I do
not understand how this can be. A stone can bruise. Theft can deprive. But
words are just sounds, having no substance. I must disagree with you when
you suggest they are so powerful." 

The master replied, "If you weren't such an ignorant idiot, you'd understand.
So sit down, shut up and stop interrupting." 

The startled young man fell silent, but about ten minutes later jumped to his
feet, face red, eyes bulging, fists clenched, his whole body shaking. 

The old man turned to him, "You seem perturbed. Your gentle disposition is
shattered. What happened to you?" 
"You hurtled harsh insults I did not deserve. You cannot possibly be the great
teacher you pretend to be. You are a fraud!" 

The old man responded, "Ah, I see. It was my words that had such a
transforming effect upon you. It seems you and I agree that speech can be
quite powerful." 

Words, especially from those we consider leaders, can guide us or deceive

us, make us knowledgeable or ignorant, violent or peaceful, sad or joyful, wise
or foolish. Words give birth to ideas, which in turn create powerful emotions,
which rule the hearts of men and women, who then can act constructively or
destructively, for justice or injustice. 

You can see the power words. Results are in front of us. Words play a really important role in our life.
Wrong words can destroy any situation in fraction of seconds. By using words effectively, you can win
many situations.

Watch your words and your words will watch you.
