5 Reasons Why You Should Think Before You Speak
It’s a part of human nature. Sometimes we get so emotional about somethings that we forget to think before we speak. It’s like something paralyzrs our rational and logical brain, and in the process, our emotional brains lets words come out of our mouths that never should have. Some people may have been taught by their parents to think before words come out of their mouths. But many others have not. If you are in the latter category,then you will want to seriously think about these very important reasons why you should think before you say something you Shouldn’t. 1.Your words Reflect Who You Are When I was growing up, my mother taught me and my sisters not to use swear words. I thought she just wanted us to be lady-like,but there was an even deeper reason. Sure, being lady like is a nice thing. But beyond that,she was teaching is that the words you use determine your character. They affect not only yourself but also how people percieve you and what kind of person they think you are. 2.Words Have Power I am sure you are aware of the politically correct language movement. Basically, It's changing words to nicer ones. For example, back in the 1970s, people used to use word "retarded" to describe a person who was mentally slower than average. The point is that if you make the words nicer, then they will not hold as much negativity. 3.Words Can Hurt or Help People As I mentioned words have power, and part of this power can be good or evil. What you say to a person can hurt them emotionally and mentally. And even though the saging goes "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me," it is not true-words Do hurt. But they can also help. So, it’s important to make sure that the words you use help people instead of hurting them. 4.Words Can Destroy Relationship Speaking of relationships, the more negative words that are spoken to another person over time,the more it damage them-and also the relationship between the two of you. Think about it -would you want to say with someone who was constantly calling you names and saying mean things? Of course not! Your words could absolitely destroy your relationship. 5. You Can Never Take It Back Once you say somethings, It's out there forever! You can never take it back. Sure, you can try but it wont work. Taking back what you say is like trying to put air back im a balloon- it does not work. It does not matter how much you try, it wont change the fact tgat those words are out there forever.

Every person should be very aware of the things what are he saying. But most of the people do the same mistake because at the time of speaking, they speak continuously without knowing anything. Thus they have to become foolish like the illiterate people.

Totally right. Words are so powerful in this planet. Words can change the relationship of each individual. We should think before we act or say because sometimes we are not literally say it the way we want it and some people misunderstood it .Don't say if your not sure what you are thinking because it may end up war both side.
