The power of dreams often lies dormant, awaiting the right catalyst to awaken it. In our social and business interactions, it's not always the fastest who win the race, but those who can articulate their thoughts eloquently - the captivating speakers and persuasive conversationalists. As you delve into this article, you're participating in one of nature's marvels. We, as humans, possess a unique ability - language, arguably our most significant cultural innovation. Through mere words, we can spark new ideas in each other's minds. Hypnosis has demonstrated that simple words can profoundly impact behavior and perception.
Language can be likened to an artist with only a few color options on their palette. Similarly, a limited vocabulary can only paint dull and uninspiring narratives of one's past or future. They lack vibrancy and persuasive power. Consider a less fortunate worker with grand dreams. These dreams remain confined within his mind because dreams and ambitions need words for expression. Limited vocabulary equates to limited expression, and limited language skills translate to limited opportunities. These limitations hinder his efforts to rise above his current status. His struggle to improve his circumstances crumbles when his language skills fail to support his aspirations.
Now, let's shift the focus to you. Does your casual conversation at social gatherings reflect sophisticated discourse or a jumbled string of meaningless chatter? Whether you realize it or not, your conversational and language skills reveal your background and even your intelligence. A survey conducted among top executives in fifty-eight of America's largest companies revealed that every single executive attributed their advancement to personal communication skills.
You might feel trapped by your current level of education or inherent intelligence. While there might be some truth to this, you are not confined by your current verbal and conversational skills. Remember, it's not always the fastest who win the race, but those who can articulate their thoughts eloquently - the captivating speakers and persuasive conversationalists. You can acquire these skills in a matter of weeks, sometimes even days. It primarily requires making a decision and commitment. Consider it a Masters in Verbology.
According to the National Institute of Health, language skills are crucial for cognitive development and learning. A study by the University of Chicago also found that children who learn to effectively use persuasive language are more likely to succeed in life.
Discrimination - The First Law of Success
As the author of personal development publications distributed world wide, I am frequently asked why certain people seem to succeed at practically everything they attempt, while others fail no matter how hard they try.

Shooting From the Lip...It's a deadly game
In Northern Canada there are two seasons, winter and July. When the back roads thaw in July they get muddy. Trucks traveling the back roads leave deep ruts that become frozen when winter returns. When you enter the backwoods you are greeted by a sign that says, "Drivers, please choose carefully which ruts you drive in, because you'll be in it for the next twenty miles."
