Words are powerful forces of nature. They are destruction. They are nourishment. They are flesh. They are water. They are flowers and bone. They burn. They cleanse they erase. They etch.

They can either leave you feeling homeless or brimming with home.”

― Sanober Khan

Our words can make or mar our fellow humans; therefore, we must be very careful with what we say or write. We may forget what we have said, but those we've spoken to may forever live with the consequence. Thus, we must speak politely and winsomely.

Dear Colleagues, Good Day,

" Words Have the Power to Change Our Lives

A word has the power to change your life. Think about that for a moment because it is literally an Earth-moving statement – to change your life. For more than a decade, technology has brought words into our lives more than ever before. No longer are words just what we hear, write or read – they have become what we create and how we interact with the world around us.

We all grew up believing the children’s rhyme, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” Yet, at a certain point, you realized that was completely untrue and that words could hurt, just as you learned Pluto was a planet but many years later find out it is just a ball of ice no longer classified as a planet. Words, my friends, change everything! Words have a dramatic effect on what we know, how we interact with people and the decisions we ultimately make. Words can influence us, inspire us or just as easily bring us to tears.

Words change our relationships, our demeanor, our entire system of beliefs, and even our businesses. Being a planet or not being a planet makes a major difference, just as the words “I love you” or “I hate you” have majorly different meanings behind them. Words have a powerful and undeniably overwhelming influence on us – for good and, at times, for bad. Think for a moment how words have changed your life:

Marry me!  It’s a girl! You have cancer. We lost him. You’re hired! You’re fired. We won! We lost. Guilty. Not guilty.

It may not seem intentional, but it has been. At the core, a large “organization of words” shift has taken place right in front of us. As a result, words have forever changed our lives and will continue to change our lives as never before. For the majority of us, not a single day goes by when we fail to interact and create relationships with words. Take Google, for example. Google is a company with a focus on classifying and organizing words. It is a very simple focus, really: to be better than any other entity at organizing words. Now, they may say they organize information, including documents, videos, photos, maps and more. But at the core, they are all words. A document may have many words, but they are always organized in a theme, and a theme can generally be focused to a sentence or title, and a title to a primary subject or word. The same goes for videos, photos, maps and more.

Imagine you are in a doctor’s office and you are told, “you have cancer.”

A single word “cancer” just changed your life and the lives of everyone close to you. Clearly, you listen to what your doctor says, but then you go to a place you know you can get a lot of answers – a search. You may do this when you get home to your computer or tablet or immediately on your mobile phone. But nonetheless, you begin to create and interact with the words by typing a few into the search box: “what is cancer” “cancer treatments” “cancer cures” “cancer survival.” Cancer comes in many forms, so perhaps your search is more specific: “what is triple negative breast cancer” “triple negative breast cancer treatments.” As you type, the words interact with you, providing answers to your questions. As a result, you learn of clinical trials as a treatment option, so you again leverage the interaction with words: “clinical trials for triple negative breast cancer,” and you find a powerful option that gives you another word – hope. Then and there, words and our relationship to them cross over into something that changes our life once again – twice in the same day, perhaps.",....

Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.” Considering the 'powerful force' of the words we utter, we must discipline ourselves to speak in a way that conveys respect, gentleness and humility ...

Dear Colleagues, Good Day,

"Our words have power. They impact others, but they also impact us."

----- Michael Hyatt

It may be possible to quote some famous person in order to forego an own answer. I am sceptical that scientists have power with their statements if they don't arouse any interest of politicians or other people, see the questions which are asked here. I am sure they have no influence in a reality that have to decide important things.

Words can greatly influence people if reading is done passively. If the reader has a power of discernment, words can serve to impel new studies and generate a good scientific controversy, which drives science.

In 1970 I attended a political gathering, the big leader in his speech said, that every thing is yours, in a moment the public dispersed and looted the nearby shops

Dear readers,

Words begin and end wars. They create and destroy families. They break hearts. They heal them. If you have the right words, there's nothin on earth you can't do.

Best wishes

I don't think words have power in and of themselves. I can tell a broken car, "Start!" as many times as I want and it still won't start. Rather, the impact of words is directly dependent on the receptivity of other conscious agents. If a friend tells me something and I'm paying attention to something else, I don't hear it, and the words have no impact. If I hear it, then I have the conscious power to take it to heart or ignore it. Denying that I have this power is a denial of libertarian human freedom.

Correct words created power to individual to discuss any information I.e. to encourage person to continued his speaking.

I agree and recommend colleague Doha M Al Saffar answer :

'Words begin and end wars. They create and destroy families. They break hearts. They heal them. If you have the right words, there's nothin on earth you can't do.'

Best wishes

Dickson Adom

of course yes !

Words are most important things that will affect people. even more than behavior!!!

“Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.”

I totally agree with this

Dear professors Tahereh, Mohamed, and Ashique

Thank you so much for your valuable views expressed on the subject. Best regards

Dickson Adom

Dear Colleagues.

I personally agree with it and in some cases it is very true like poetry, speeches, presentations and scripts.

Good Luck

Dear Colleagues, Good Day,

"Words have a magical power. They can bring either the greatest happiness or deepest despair; they can transfer knowledge from teacher to student; words enable the orator to sway his audience and dictate its decisions. Words are capable of arousing the strongest emotions and prompting all men's actions."

----- Sigmund Freud

To what extend do you agree with the statement: 'Words have Power' ?

Not all words bring forth positive power i.e. some words can prompt discernment, understanding, learning, knowledge building, new ideas generation, action for the next step etc. whereas other words can be hurtful (negative power). Some just empty talk without bringing any impact etc. Think words are the manifestation of thoughts in which thoughts can be more powerful because not all words can be represented through thought perfectly.

A popular talk in our zone - tongue has no bone, but it can break an heart, can also join the broken heart.

If we can offer words which are actually powerful, definitely it will influence others. In Science, if we remember the publication status of great discoveries like discovery of Penicillin by Dr. Alexander Fleming or vaccination by Dr. E. Jenner, it will reveal easily.

Yes, words have their own power.

Power has many advantages and powers of various and also many disadvantages and disadvantages and temptations

I consider it a double - edged sword and the wise man who believes in God and his power and wisdom in the distribution of various kinds of grace and his preference for

Abada to choose the path that will take him and walk in it ......

And as long as the human will pray in God to say and act, God willing he will enjoy all the advantages of power and consider power in

The same in this case of the greatest and greatest blessings on the holder and he should praise God and exploited in the service of his work in the first place and that he was able to serve them in the good do not delay any good work pleases God Almighty and may God have the largest and greatest reward and reward of benefit Currency .....

But if the human being exploits the power of the interests of personal or material ambitions and the worldly or specific goals and actions do not satisfy God and His Messenger, whether by word or work, in this case has chosen to be power Nqmh instead of being a blessing and I myself can not predict what will He descends upon him from the punishment of Allah Almighty because the knowledge of the unseen and the testimony of God Almighty Almighty and God above and above

Life and death are in the words we say. It can save a life oe end it. It can build or tear down. Let us use our words wisely as scholars.

Dear Colleagues, Good Day,

“Words have power," Isaac answered. Words begin and end wars. They create and destroy families. They break hearts. They heal them. If you have the right words, there's nothing on earth you can't do."

My professor friend looked at me and said to me 'I see a greater person than myself in you. ' His powerful works has bolstered my self-confidence to achieve greater things in the academia...writing my name in the rainbow of research.

Dear Colleagues, Good Day,

Please, see...

The ability and creativity of rhetoric with the accumulation of linguistic knowledge ability can not be underestimated, has a magical effect, but our actions and our actions and achievements are the rule and not the words

Words and action have magical effect! Well said Prof. Houda. Thank you so much.

Dickson

I agree with this statement to great extent because sometimes we use words to express our feeling towards other ,some times this words have the power of changing bad situations to lovely one.

Dear Prof. Ali,

Thank you for your insightful comment. Best regards

Dickson

Words are powerful, in communication science words are our message to send to enemies and friends. The message is one component from the process of communication that include the sender, receivers, channels..etc the aim of media is to change ideas, attitudes well if behaviour is the most effect. So words can start wars, revolutions, peace process, praying to god seem to be really powerful!
