A speaker was speaking about the power of positive thinking and the power of words.
One of the audience raised his hand and said, “It’s not because I say good fortune, good fortune, good fortune that will make me feel better. Nor will saying bad luck, bad luck, bad luck, make me feel worse. They’re only words and, by themselves, have no power.”
The speaker replied. “Shut up, you fool, you don’t understand a thing about this.” The member of the audience was stunned, his face became red and he was about to reply. “You, son of a…”
The speaker raised his hand. “Please excuse me. I didn’t mean to upset you. Please accept my most sincere apologies.”
The member of the audience calmed down. Some people in the hall murmured; others shuffled their feet.
The speaker resumed. “There’s the reply to the question you asked me. A few words made you very angry. The other words calmed you down.” “Now do you understand the power of words?”

Wisdom in the words of inspirational stories and motivational stories. Story telling is a form of communication that has been used for generations. Stories are a wonderful way to express our thoughts. Reading someone’s story can make us feel better especially if we are experiencing a similar situation. Words of wisdom are often found in stories. We all have a story and the ending of our story depends solely on us.
All stories teach us something, and promise us something, whether they’re true or invented, legend or fact. ~Stewart O’NanWe are the hero of our own story. ~Mary McCarthy
