if you were paid $1 for every kind word you speak...
and take away $1 for every unkind word you say...

I was always taught that if I didn't have anything nice to say, then not to say anything at all. As long as we are not counting what goes through my mind, then I would be rich. I consider myself to be a nice person, too nice sometimes.

i agree with u... but i think if this policy will be implented, many of us might get rich and may get too "plastic" sometimes... many countries will be in better condition, you know, world peace!!... Ü

I would be rich person. I use most of the time kind words only. God has give us life to enjoy and let the people enjoy. Why we should not maintain good relation. Afterall words are the only means of our expression. Very rarely I use harsh words for anybody. This is fact.

I would be a rich person before the sun go down. I never said any unkind words no matter how infuriating my mood was. I didn't know how to scream nor yell either. I'm too soft spoken. That's why people won't recognize right away if I'm upset.

I am sure i would be rich. I frankly really speaking do not use unkind words in general. If someone irritates me , i dont talk back thats it. I sm sure i would defitneily be rich in this case. But noone gives me $1 for the kind word i utter:-( that makes me sad:-)
