Words are living things, the very bodies in which ideas and emotions become materialized.By the power of the word, to an extraordinary extent, we can influence what happens to our lives.


There is a famous old story about an optimist 1 and a pessimist 2. A half glass of water was placed before them for their inspection 3, and they were asked to describe what they saw.


"I see," said the optimist cheerfully," a glass that is half full."


"I see," said the pessimist with a heavy sigh,"a glass that is half empty."


There could hardly be a better example of the power that lies in words, and of how word-choice can come to influence our whole mood and outlook. If we say often enough how full things are-whether water glasses or whatever else-we grow more and more into a fullness of our own. If we say often enough how empty things are, we can make our life-adventure an emptiness indeed.


语言是具有生命的东西,是思想和情感实现具体物质化体现的躯壳。一旦一个思想或是情感被化作语言,它便获得了比之前所拥有的强大无数倍的力量和说服力。它现在是一个东西,而不再是只能在想象中被说出,被听到,被看到的了。通过语言的力量,在极大的程度来讲,我们可以影响人生中发生的事情。


有一个关于一个乐观者和一个悲观者的著名而古老的故事。半杯水摆放在他们面前让他们审视,并且要求他们描述自己看到了什么。


“我看到,”乐观者高兴的说,“一杯半满的水。”“我看见,”悲观者深深地叹息着说,“一杯空了一半的水。”


这是关于语言的力量和如何点亮我们的心情与前途的最好例证。“满”是一个表示宏大,愉悦的词汇,而“空”却表示的是贫乏与孤独。如果我们足够经常的去说事物是多么饱满,极致,我们就会越来越发展出自己宏大极品的人生。如果经常去说事物是多么贫乏,我们会使得一生的冒险真的变得贫乏可悲。
