Power of words (believe it or not!!)


I read a news paper article about the power of positive words.
This guy even try the test with two different jar filled with cooked rice, cooked with same method, same time.
One of the jar he put tags as "Good" and another one is "Bad".
And everyday he and his family member say different words in front of those two jars.
With the jar with "good" tag they will say positive words like "you are nice, you are sweet, you are smart, you are good, we love you, you are every thing, etc"
And with other jar with "bad" tags they sad negative words like "you are ugly, you are fat, you are dumb, you are nothing, you are garbage, you are worthless, etc"
Two weeks after that he see the difference between those two jar !!
The jar with the "good" tags the rice inside the jar only turn into yellowish.
The jar with the tag "bad" when they open the jar its smell so stink, and the color turn into grey-black !
He even attach the pictures of the two jar with his article.
I read this and thinking....

If that could happened to those two different jar of rice... what could possibly happened to human is almost the same....
How the power of words could encourage people, and !! if we kept saying positive words to other people... they wont turn into something bad like the rice on the "bad" jar.

I suddenly remember my niece... i will start to say something positive about other people...
and starting with you !

YOU ARE A SWEET FRIEND !!

I've seen these experiments before, it's all very metaphysical and cool. I think it gives us hope in a lot of ways, even.

You're a nice blogger!

Cheers!

yes it is.. and it does change my mind about saying bad words... see the effect is horrible !
sometimes when we up set we said things we regret.. so now if i am angry with someone.. i rather shut my mouth than saying bad words !
