"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
You probably heard those lines in grammar school, but do you really agree that harsh (严厉的) or negative words do not harm us? Words have power. Surely we all have had our feelings hurt by something someone said.
We may not say words to hurt others, but the way we interpret (解释) them and how we say them may cause great harm. Here’s an example:
An ancient king dreamed all his teeth had fallen out. He sent for a wise man to explain his dream to him: the dream means that all your relatives will die and you will be left alone!
The king was very angry and threw the interpreter into prison. He then sent for another interpreter who said, "Congratulations! King! You will live many more years. In fact, you will survive all your relatives. Long Live the King!"
Both interpreters gave the same interpretation, but there was a huge difference in the way they said it.
Our speech must be understood by those who hear our words, but the way we say things and the intention behind them have as much power as the words themselves. Words can cause anger or appreciation. Which would you rather receive?
People who say harsh and negative things may not mean to harm, but have you ever known anyone who is a naysayer? They often look at the dark sides of things. They always see the glass as half empty rather than half full. How do you feel when you are around this type of person? Remember words have power. Use them wisely.

This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less 39.
I   40   their situation to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Martin, and   41   the boys to donate some of their less favorite toys. My little daughter, Meghan,   42   quietly when the boys piled up the old toys. After a while, Meghan walked up   43   Lucy, her much-loved doll,   44   tightly to her chest. She put her round little   45   into Lucy’s, giving her a final kiss, and then laid her   46   on top of the others. “Oh, honey,” I said,“you don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much. ”
Meghan nodded, trying to   47   her tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mummy. Maybe she’ll make that little girl happy, too. ”
The boys watched in surprise   48   their baby sister placed Lucy in the   49  .

Anyone can give away what they no longer need, but true generosity is giving what you   55 .     I, who had meant to teach, was taught.
