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 and a pessimist. A half glass of water was placed before them for their inspection, 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.

語(yǔ)言是具有生命的東西，是思想和情感實(shí)現(xiàn)具體物質(zhì)化體現(xiàn)的軀殼。一旦一個(gè)思想或是情感被化作語(yǔ)言，它便獲得了比之前所擁有的強(qiáng)大無(wú)數(shù)倍的力量和說(shuō)服力。它現(xiàn)在是一個(gè)東西，而不再是只能在想象中被說(shuō)出，被聽(tīng)到，被看到的了。通過(guò)語(yǔ)言的力量，在極大的程度來(lái)講，我們可以影響人生中發(fā)生的事情。

有一個(gè)關(guān)于一個(gè)樂(lè)觀者和一個(gè)悲觀者的著名而古老的故事。半杯水?dāng)[放在他們面前讓他們審視，并且要求他們描述自己看到了什么。

“我看到，”樂(lè)觀者高興的說(shuō)，“一杯半滿的水。”“我看見(jiàn)，”悲觀者深深地嘆息著說(shuō)，“一杯空了一半的水。”

這是關(guān)于語(yǔ)言的力量和如何點(diǎn)亮我們的心情與前途的最好例證。“滿”是一個(gè)表示宏大，愉悅的詞匯，而“空”卻表示的是貧乏與孤獨(dú)。如果我們足夠經(jīng)常的去說(shuō)事物是多么飽滿，極致，我們就會(huì)越來(lái)越發(fā)展出自己宏大極品的人生。如果經(jīng)常去說(shuō)事物是多么貧乏，我們會(huì)使得一生的冒險(xiǎn)真的變得貧乏可悲。
