A Good Word

A Good Word Words are powerful things. They can start wars. They can also end wars. They can begin lifelong friendships and end them. Words are not solid like bricks and stone, but they can be just as strong. Some people argue about some things and never speak again. Words destroy their friendship. Some people stay together a whole lifetime because of words. So, be careful choosing your words. One word can hurt someone for a lifetime. But a word of support at the right time can change a life!

Words can be used as weapons or as tools to build bridges. Try saying things like, " Hey, that was a good job! " or“ Thanks for helping me with my math. " Little things can make a huge difference. Always remember, one good word is worth more than a thousand words that hurt. And be careful how you use words. They have a lot of power.
