Do you use appropriate words at the appropriate time?

Absolutely right and this fits much when words are used during acute anger.I always think before i speak specially when iam in an anger mood.I know that words hurt someone so much than lashes hence i use them very carefully.If something geos beyond extreme and my anger is in such a stage of outburst..i never loose words which can hurt one badly and keep calm inorder to maintain the smooth relationship i have with them to go in a long run. So as when iam in a happy mood i express my words with happiness so as it pleases someone.A right appreciation is necessary with good wordings to praise someone.

Deepak, I feel our toungue is the most powrful of all organs - it can change lives, it can motivate, destroy, kill, build and soothe hearts. So, we should be very careful while using it. Judicious and proper use of words is desirable, as you have rightly pointed out. But we are forgetting that at a rapid rate. In today's world of fast pace, ppl hardly care to ponder over the words they utter. As a result, we tend to hurt ppl habitually. Using right words at the proper situations is an art and decorum. Some ppl are every good at it, I wish I could be like that. Deepak, I am not a good talker and grope of words. Here, I would like to add that difference in culture and customs and language many a times lead to miscommunication. With the world coming so close through internet, we should try and learn the international etiquette and decorum through the right use of language. Thanks for a great topic of discussion. smiles...

One should have good vacabulary in order to speak well by using appropriate words. I love to use appropriate words to make my talk more interesting and yields results.

exactly.i feel our words express our personality.according to my near ones i am very diplomatic while answering whereas according to myself i speak my heart and mind but yes in refined manner so as to i don't hurt anybody's sentiments.

Appropriate words always do magic. When my son loved a girl, who belonged to different caste, her mother did not give way. I just said, "give me your daughter, I will take care of her like my own, PLEASE", you know what, immediately she agreed for the marriage. Many a times I noticed this. Words create great effect in the minds of people. But they should really come from your heart and you should mean them.

sometimes i wonder about that;) it's just that i happen to not to use inappropriate words at a appropriate time!lol and i guess there weren't any case of relationship going bad because of my not using the right word at the right time since my tennage years:)

If language when heard is like a music, words are like pearls. By using proper words appropriately, one can make a good impact on the listners. Man should make continuous efforts throughout the life to learn the skills of the language as a culture.

I am a very impulsive (not a bad)person.I am used to reacting fast in love and war.So I have this habit of spilling the beans fast.

doing the right thing at the right time.i have yet tolearn that diplomatic way of handling words.

you are right.we must think before we speak.i need to train myself a lot.usually i choose my words carefully when i am with elders,teachers,etc.but i have used some nasty words with friends.but they do too.:P

i can't agree with you any more. in china, we have an old saying, say human being's words to people and nonsense to goast (i don't know whether the translation is right or not). USing appropriate words at the appropriate time is a kind of arts.It's hard to learn it but it's useful. As for me,I am not a talktive girl and i also don't know how to praise people, but i am honesty. In fact, being honesty is not enough when entering into society and sometimes appropriate praise is necessary. So i think i have a lot to learn on talking.

Yeh, i am difinitely agree with you. We should becareful in using a words. If we don't think before saying it. It can really affect our relationship with someone. We dealing different attitudes and personalities so we can't please everybody. Nasty , insulting, contradicting, debating words. Those words can make you bad. Think first before you say it.

Hello deepak! I do agree with you. Sometimes, words that came out on our mouth reflect our personality. If we are saying nasty words, people will think we are rude or something. I always, watch whatever words that came out to me especially when giving compliments because I don't want to offend someone.

Some tribes in Mindanao consider words as the breath of the soul. Hence, if you speak, your soul, your body, your face, your mind also speak. Your word is you: body and soul. That's why Indigenous People who have not been corrupted by "modernity" or by media "spin" are afraid to speak. More so the Tribal Chieftain who speaks for the Ancestral Domain. Ancestral Domain is a concept that encompasses not only territory but also all the things living and inanimate in the territory of the tribe as well as the present generation of the living, the spirit of the Ancestors (called those who traveled ahead of us) and the generations that will be born. You can imagine the awesome responsibility of the Tribal Chieftain who caters to this belief. S/He will speak with dread and trepidation for fear of making mistakes, for how do you divine the wishes of the Ancestors and those as yet unborn?
