MAGIC WORDS

                          .

From a young age through movies, friends and family I learned there are five magical words that are a must for me to learn and put into practice, I learned how to put them into character by the teachings of my parents and these words are;

1.       SORRY.

2.       PLEASE

3.       THANK YOU

4.       PARDON ME

5.       EXCUSE ME

These words have been truly magical for me because, I have come to realize that these words can save you from trouble sometimes if used well.

When you offend a person gravely and sometimes it may seem unforgivable but yet you put on a remorseful attitude and apologise saying “AM SORRY” or even ‘PARDON ME” it goes a long way to ease tension even though some people may still obviate the apology but if you are persistent with your plea and with humility you will get the person to calm down and may even accept the apology.

When someone does you a favour and you say “THANK YOU” it may have an effect on the self esteem of the individual positively. Even when you thank a person for doing what he is supposed to do as a duty it brings a sense of fulfillment and belonging to that person to see him/herself as relevant.

                The word “PLEASE” can get you a lot of things because it is a sincere plea for help, assistance. You must have noticed the behavior of people when you say “Get me that hat” and when you say “Please, could you get me that hat?” Saying this boost the ego of the person you are asking for the favor and may even be motivating. Another example is when you are tired  and a person request from you without saying please and another  ask you with the word PLEASE, you will choose to answer the one with the PLEASE because the word carries a sense of responsibility to the person being requested from.

                The word “EXCUSE ME” is used when you want to take charge, get a person’s attention, ask questions, interrupt a discussion/setting and this word is the only polite way to do this.

                All these 5 words can be used positively and negatively. Positively when it is sincere and negatively when it lacks true emotion and its intent are rude, manipulative and dubious.

Words generally can have double meaning and depend on the emotion being put into it. This tells us that whatever you say and not just the five magical words, you should always portray good emotions and sincerity in it and try not to show non-challance or apathy because words are;

                W-WHAT              or          W-WHAT

                O-OUR                                    O-OUR

                R-REASONING                   R-REASONING

                D-DEPICTS                        D- DEPICTS

                                                                S-SHALLOWLY
